Advanced Marina Management

Course Information

The Advanced Marina Management (AMM) program is a profit-management training course designed for senior marina professionals. The course is internationally recognised and offered in conjunction with the Global Marina Institute.

The AMM School offers its graduates both a national and international business perspective on management issues, and a long-term network of international contacts to rely on in the future. The course goes beyond the basics to teach the forefront of marina management best practices. MIA carefully screens applicants to ensure that participants create a well-balanced peer group that will share knowledge and experience equally.

The course is divided into two streams, a 4.5 day CMO stream and a 5.5 day CMM/CMP stream. The first two days consists of core subjects, while in the remainder of the course, delegates split into their respective streams. Delegates who successfully complete the CMO stream will be recognised as meeting one of the requirements to become a Certified Marina Operator CMO, while those who complete the CMM/CMP stream will be recognised as meeting one of the requirements to become a Certified Marina Manager CMM or Certified Marina Professional CMP. When completing the application form, applicants will conduct a self assessment to determine which stream they are eligible to apply for.
