Nelson Marlborough Institute offers Marine Engineering programmes from levels 3 to 6. Additional
ancillary courses may be required to cover all parts of the certificate. Some details are listed
below, but we suggest that you contact us or check our Dates
and Fees page to confirm the timing of these programmes. Students should enrol on the ancillary
courses at the same time as they enrol on the engineering programmes - we do not automatically
enrol students onto the ancillary courses.
Please note that our course costs include examination fees, but do not include ancillary course
fees or the Maritime New Zealand administration fees. The course dates do not include the
examination dates - these generally take place the week following completion of the programme.
Entry Requirements
For each of the Marine Engineering programmes, students are required to make an application to
the Examiner of Marine Engineers, Maritime New Zealand, P O Box 27006 Wellington, for a permit to
sit the examinations. All forms and other documentation can be obtained from Maritime New Zealand.
Specific requirements and details of qualifying sea time, engine rating, structured training
programmes and other formal training can be found in the Maritime Rules, Part 32, Ships'
Personnel-qualifications or on the Maritime New Zealand website (NB - This page has links to
Maritime NZ requirements for all levels of Marine Engineering qualifications offered through
NMIT).
