Ship Repair Courses
Build the Skills to Diagnose, Repair & Restore Ships
Ships operate in demanding environments where machinery, structures, piping, electrical systems and marine equipment are continuously exposed to corrosion, fatigue, vibration, wear and operational stress.
Effective ship repair requires professionals who can identify problems, determine the right repair method, execute the work safely and return systems to reliable operation.
Pertecnica Marine Academy’s Ship Repair Vertical brings together 50 specialized training modules covering the complete repair and maintenance environment — from inspection and fault identification to repair execution, testing and vessel return to service.
The Complete Ship Repair Journey
Our training follows the way repair work actually happens in a shipyard, dry dock or marine maintenance facility.
01 — Inspect
Understand how vessels are examined before repair begins. Training covers ship inspection, condition assessment, structural inspection, machinery inspection, corrosion assessment, thickness measurement and identification of defects.
02 — Diagnose
Learn how engineers and technicians determine the cause and extent of a problem. Modules address failure identification, machinery troubleshooting, piping problems, electrical faults, structural damage, vibration and equipment performance.
03 — Plan
Repair work must be carefully planned around vessel condition, accessibility, materials, manpower, equipment and operational requirements. Training introduces repair planning, work packages, estimation, scheduling, materials and safety planning.
04 — Repair
Develop practical knowledge of the major repair activities carried out on ships, including steel renewal, welding, structural repairs, piping repairs, machinery overhaul, mechanical maintenance, electrical repairs, equipment replacement and marine outfitting.
05 — Verify
A repair is not complete when the physical work ends. Inspection, testing and quality verification are essential. Learners can develop skills in NDT, dimensional inspection, pressure testing, alignment, electrical testing, machinery testing and quality documentation.
06 — Return to Service
The final stage involves system restoration, commissioning, trials, documentation and handover. Training addresses functional testing, harbour trials, sea trials, troubleshooting and repair completion procedures.

Skills for a High-Demand Industry
Ship repair is a continuous industry. Vessels require routine maintenance, periodic surveys, emergency repairs, dry-docking and major refurbishment throughout their operational lives.
This creates opportunities for technicians, fabricators, welders, mechanics, electricians, inspectors, supervisors, engineers and repair managers with specialized ship-repair skills.
Turn Problems Into Professional Skills
The Ship Repair Vertical is designed around a simple principle:
Find the problem → Understand the cause → Plan the repair → Execute correctly → Inspect → Test → Restore the vessel.
With 50 focused training modules, learners can build individual competencies or develop a broader understanding of the complete ship-repair process.
Explore the Ship Repair Vertical and develop the practical skills required to keep vessels safe, reliable and operational.
