The Railways Training Institute (RTI) Marine School in Kisumu has launched a range of specialized training programs aimed at building a skilled workforce for Kenya's growing maritime sector, as the country ramps up efforts to tap into the vast potential of the blue economy.

Located at the Kisumu Port and operating as a constituent campus of RTI Nairobi, the Marine School is strategically positioned to support the region's maritime logistics and economic activity.

Among the key programs are the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), Coxswain Level 3,2 and 1 and other marine certification courses examined by the Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA).

The courses have been designed to equip trainees with technical competencies required in the dynamic marine industry.
