IMarEST accreditation provides a stamp of excellence to help organisations worldwide attract top-tier talent and gain recognition as quality training providers. For the RSN, our team will continue to enhance and provide accredited career pathways, which will enable Navy personnel to apply for IMarEST registration through its chartership schemes. The two organisations will also build ties by exploring opportunities regarding joint conferences and events. 

Yves De Leeneer, IMarEST president, said: "We are delighted that the Republic of Singapore Navy continues to invest in its staff development through the IMarEST. Our team is looking forward to providing guidance throughout the process, as well as supporting Navy personnel as they work towards becoming professionally registered marine engineers and technologists." 

SLTC David Kan, Head of Naval Training of the RSN further shared that: “The RSN looks forward to the continued collaborations with IMarEST in supporting the professional development of our RSN personnel and the accreditation that IMarEST provides in recognition of our domain expertise in the industry."
