Responding to the growing needs for training in both the military and commercial maritime world, the Global Maritime and Transportation School at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, has dramatically expanded its Continuing Education program. Operating as a “non-appropriated fund instrumentality” of the U.S. Government, GMATS Continuing Education program offers close to one hundred courses and programs for the military. In addition, GMATS regularly develops customized programs to meet the specific needs of any organization.
It has long been conventional military wisdom that well trained soldiers and sailors are as essential to effective military operations as “state of the art” weapon systems and an adequate link to supplies. Since the renaissance of the U.S. armed forces beginning in the 1980’s significant resources have been dedicated to training and re-training. The result has been the creation of the finest military in the world. GMATS goal is to support that mission through leading-edge education and training.
