The process is a simple program consisting of a full-term document review. Please electronically submit the below-listed information to Seafarers

Once the document review is successfully completed, an approval letter will be awarded for the individual course, which will be valid for five years. The Liberian Registry may perform an onsite review of the Administration’s training center at any time within the five-year approval period. As part of the onsite review, The Liberian Registry may request records for verification and observe a demonstration course. The approval process shall be completed on a cost recovery or commission basis.

All official Liberian Certificate of Competency (CoCs) and Certificate of Proficiency (CoPs) are issued by the Liberian Registry in Virginia or Manila office. The approved training center does not issue Liberian CoCs and CoPs.  Proof of training certificates issued by an approved training center will be recognized by the Liberian Registry for the purposes of seafarer certification, provided the seafarer holding the certificate meets all requirements as per RLM-118. All seafarers must possess a Liberian seafarer book in order to be eligible to obtain Liberian documentation.  All seafarers must pass the Liberian CoC exam in order to be eligible to obtain a Liberian CoC.

The current approved training courses for Seafarers Certification are courses recognized by Liberia that go towards the issuance of an original Liberian certificate. (All requirements must be met as per RLM-118 to be eligible for a certification. Seafarers may need to successfully pass a Liberian exam.)
