Previously known as the National Sea Training Centre, the Maritime Operations and Logistics Centre (MOLC) at North West Kent College delivers education and training to professional marine personnel by a variety of flexible delivery methods through it’s Maritime Open Learning Division. It is one of only a few organisations in the UK that is approved by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) to issue certificates under the International STCW95 standard. The centre has also attained Grade 1 status by the UK Education Inspectorate for "excellence in teaching and learning and partnerships with industry". Recently the department has expanded its provision to include courses under the wider area of Supply Chain Management and added “Logistics” training to its list of quality provision.
