Online Education and Training
NEMO° courses are designed to support all learning styles by providing text, audio, visual and interactive tools. Users are given lesson checks and periodical knowledge checks as they would in a typical classroom environment, better preparing them for their final assessments. All courses purchased through NEMO°, including their updated content, are made available for a lifetime. This allows mariners to go back into their library of courses to stay educated and knowledgeable.
Our online courses feature first-class HALO° simulators which are built in-house and emulate all the functions of real world equipment. In addition, most of our courses are supported by HALO° Exams, an AI driven exam monitoring software that allows mariners to take their written exams at home using a webcam.

The History of NEMO°
NEMO° was originally launched in 2015 by the founders of Northeast Maritime Institute – College of Maritime Science as a solution to provide quality maritime education and training online, saving mariners time and money. NEMO° is designed to bring maritime education to mariners where they are, at home or at work; using advanced learning methods, integrated simulation and an automated online exam proctoring system. NEMO° is designed to be cost-effective and most importantly, accessible on ships or from home for professional mariners to spend well-earned time off with their families in lieu of spending that time away at school.
Northeast Maritime Institute’s creed – “Honor the Mariner” originated from its founders; retired U.S. Coast Guard officers and U.S. Merchant Marine officers and personnel and their commitment to the service, support and rescue of mariners and seafarers. It is this commitment to mariners which provides the very foundation of NEMO°.
Northeast Maritime Institute (NMI) has trained and educated over 70,000 mariners since its inception and has evolved from an exam preparation center to a full-fledged maritime college and training institution, offering an Associate Degree in Applied Nautical Science and continuing education courses for professional mariners around the world. NEMO° has allowed us to reach an even greater population of professional and aspiring mariners across the globe with its convenient and interactive online platform. The large catalog of STCW-compliant courses approved by the U.S. Coast Guard and other international maritime administrations provide learning opportunities for mariners just entering the industry and active professional mariners looking to upgrade their certifications.
NEMO° is fast becoming a safe and engaging community for professional mariners and seafarers. NEMO° has expanded to offer:
- Free maritime training courses
- Access to other professional, social, and artistic programs, and
- NEMO°, a maritime career management tool for mariners. The tool includes interactive career guide checklists for license upgrades and a personal document library to upload and store certificates, endorsements, applications, and supporting documents.
The latest expansion of NEMO° will provide a multi-service platform for mariners around the world to connect, complete required training, explore new areas of interest, access entertainment and advance their careers.
