What the college says

VTS personnel are required to undergo VTS Refresher training every three years. This need to be through either a formal VTS Refresher training course conducted by an MCA accredited VTS training organisation, or an in-house MCA approved course provided by a VTS Authority, with the appropriate resources in order to achieve the refresher training standard. Our VTS (IALA C0103/5) Refresher course provides professional development training to ensure that competence, knowledge and skills of VTS Personnel are updated on a periodic basis. Successful completion of this course will lead to the issuance of the MCA approved VTS (IALA C0103/5) Refresher Course certificate.
