“During my DIMS program at IMBM, I learnt many different aspects of the maritime industry. Some examples include Ship Chartering, Maritime Law, Marine Insurance and even Logistics Management. Most of what I have learnt is applicable in my daily life as a Singapore Navy Serviceman and my future career as a Marine Surveyor. My lecturers were very knowledgeable in their fields of study and were able to answer any of questions I have through the course. The lessons were not only conducted in classrooms, but also online through e-learning. This was great as it allows me to plan my schedule and does not have to commute after a long day at work. All in all, I would highly recommend this program to those wanting to venture into the bustling maritime industry, or for those who just want to improve their knowledge and make new connections along the way”.

"The intention of undertaking the diploma in mairitime studies programme with IMBM was to help increase my general knowledge of the shipping, logistics and maritime industry in preparation for my further education in University where I will be pursuing a bachelor's degree in maritime studies. The course has been greatly beneficial in understanding the importance of maritime trade and business fundamentals behind logistics handling and supply chain management. The course has allowed me to broaden my perspectives regarding the maritime industry as an industry that encompasses a wide variety of skills and know-how; not just about transporting boxes of goods but that there's also much more legal, economic, political and social aspects to this industry. Overall, I'm glad to say that the course has been useful in value-adding knowledge to help me be familiarised with what I could expect from my degree programme with the university."

“I am currently pursuing my Diploma in Maritime Studies with IMBM. I found the lecturers very detailed oriented and patient and generous in their sharing of knowledge during the course. They would go through the topics step by step, ensuring that all could follow through. They also paid attention to my classmates who could not follow and took time to walk through the items with them personally. They would also impart useful tips and at times, answer questions that are beyond our course scope. What’s more they would share their work experiences which help me to learn and understand the concepts better. I would definitely come back for the advanced diploma and short courses after completing my diploma course and would recommend IMBM to anyone who wishes to improve their knowledge in maritime studies and to make new friends”.
