How to Apply for Liberian Training Center Approval

All official Liberian certificates are issued by the Liberian Registry’s Virginia office. The approved training center does not issue Liberian certificates.  Proof of training certificates issued by an approved training center will be recognized by the Liberia 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.
