ISM- ISPS - MLC Internal Auditor

Maritime organizations operate under multiple international regulatory frameworks that require strict compliance, continuous monitoring, and effective auditing systems. The International Safety Management (ISM) Code, the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, and the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) collectively form the foundation for safety, security, and seafarer welfare in the maritime industry.

This program, developed by Global Horizon Training Center, is designed to equip participants with the competencies required to perform internal audits across these three critical frameworks. It focuses on audit principles, compliance verification, risk-based auditing, and continuous improvement practices.
