Seafood & Maritime Training (SMT) has been providing world-class education service to the Australian aquaculture and maritime sector for over 30 years.
Over this time, we have created a practical learning environment with a specific mix of hands-on learning and classroom education, that is delivered in small class sizes.
We offer a complete range of training and licensing suitable for both organisations and individuals, delivered from our Hobart training centre and from a range of facilities all around the state of Tasmania.
Everything from deck support & marine engineering, to captaining large commercial vessels.
All the essential courses your team needs to manage the risk of working on the water.
A complete range of aquaculture, ocean and maritime pathways for new careers.
Tasmania is surrounded by some of the world’s cleanest waters, providing an abundance of opportunities in seafood, shellfish, aquaculture and ocean tourism. And as Australia’s southernmost port, Hobart acts as a gateway to Antarctica for maritime and research services.
It is because of our close working relationship with this large variety of seafood and maritime industries that SMT has become Australia’s preferred industry training provider.
We pride ourselves on offering organisations and individual students, exceptional guidance throughout their complete training experience. This includes all of the documentation and follow-up necessary to ensure that qualifications remain current and in-keeping with changing legal requirements.

In 2019, Mr Mark Sampson won the Non-Professional Search and Rescue Award after risking his own life to save a friend.
Around 2pm on 13 January 2019, Mark Sampson and a friend were sailing on a 14ft catamaran when it capsized one kilometre from shore near Point Vernon, throwing them into the water.
Mark’s friend was unable to swim but was fortunately wearing a life jacket. Fearing the worst Mark ensured his friend was safely clinging to the upturned vessel before going for help. After an hour of swimming Mark finally made it to shore where he was able to raise assistance.
Mark was uncertain how watertight the vessel was and two volunteer Marine Rescue vessels were tasked to the rescue. AMSA was advised and tasked a Challenger rescue jet and Rescue 522 helicopter from Bundaberg to the search area.
The Volunteer Marine Rescue located Mark’s friend still grasping to the upturned vessel. The other rescue vessels were called off and Mark’s friend was taken to Hervey Bay Hospital suffering shock and dehydration and was released that afternoon.
After the incident, Mark’s friend vowed "…never to go sailing again!"
