Travelling to Eurotech

Travelling to Eurotech: one campus near Kochi, candidates from across India and the Gulf

Eurotech Maritime Academy trains at one campus, in Kizhakkambalam near Kochi, Kerala. Candidates come from across Kerala, from cities in South India and the rest of the country, and from seafarers working in the Gulf who plan their training around home leave.

Every course listed below runs at the Kochi campus only — nowhere else. Batch dates are published in advance, so training can be planned around a journey rather than fitted in at short notice.
