All training that is required by STCW must be monitored as part of a Quality Standards System (QSS). The entire process of applying for, obtaining, and maintaining a U.S. Coast Guard license or document is the responsibility of the Merchant Marine Licensing and Documentation Program (MMLD). The MMLD program fulfills the requirements of a STCW QSS. Parties other than the Coast Guard may accept training on behalf of the Coast Guard. This site lists approved QSS organizations in the United States. A link to a Coast Guard Navigation and Inspection Circular is also provided. This document lists policy and procedures that organizations must follow if they wish to be designated as a QSS.
