Training Options for Lucknow Residents

One point worth mentioning here is that there are no DGS-accredited institutions in Lucknow that provide the Engine Room Simulator program at present. For this reason, most mariners interested in taking this course have to travel to Delhi-NCR for training. The city of Delhi and Noida happen to be the principal maritime centers of North India, with many reputed institutions providing simulation programs.
