Renaissance Training Center, Inc. delivers world-class STCW maritime training for Filipino seafarers — shaping competent, safety-conscious professionals for the global maritime industry.

Renaissance Training Center, Inc. (RTC) was founded in early 2011 by a group of maritime experts who dedicated their professional careers to raising the standards of maritime education in the Philippines. The word "Renaissance" was chosen deliberately — it means resurgence of learning, a name inspired by the 9th Resolution of the Manila Conference, which called for the revision of existing IMO Model Courses and the development of new ones.
RTC was established in direct response to the sweeping changes introduced by the STCW Manila Amendments, providing seafarers with the training upgrades and solutions the evolving maritime industry demanded. From the beginning, our founding members envisioned a center built not just to comply with new regulations — but to lead in shaping how Filipino seafarers meet them.
Today, as a MARINA-accredited and ISO 9001:2015-certified institution, we have trained thousands of Filipino seafarers — from ratings to officers — equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and internationally recognized certification required for service aboard vessels worldwide. Our instructors are experienced maritime professionals, and our facilities meet or exceed STCW Convention requirements.
To lead in the resurgence of maritime training efficiency — producing globally competitive, safety-conscious Filipino seafarers.
To provide quality, relevant, and responsive maritime training that meets international standards and the evolving needs of the maritime industry.
RTC is committed to continual improvement and compliance with applicable statutory, regulatory, and STCW requirements through a culture of excellence.
All courses are MARINA-accredited and aligned with the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) as amended.
Renaissance Training Center operates two locations — our Main Branch in Port Area handles all enrollments, while our Tanza site serves as the practicum and physical training facility.
Enrolling is quick and straightforward. Walk in to our Main Branch in Port Area, Manila or send us a message to reserve your slot. All enrollments and administrative transactions are handled at the Main Branch only.
