In March 2026, the OPTIMISM training course was approved by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) for Continuing Professional Development recognition.
This recognition is an important confirmation of the course’s professional relevance and quality. Developed around the practical implementation of the International Safety Management Code, the programme combines lessons from maritime accidents, audits and inspections with case studies, self-assessment, assignments and competence-based evaluation.
The course is designed to help maritime professionals move beyond theoretical compliance and strengthen their ability to apply safety-management principles in real situations. IMarEST recognition supports the wider use and long-term sustainability of the OPTIMISM training programme within maritime education and professional development.
