IOMM&P Members
The Maritime Institute of Technology and Graduate Studies (MITAGS) and the Pacific Maritime Institute (PMI) are the primary training facilities for members of the International Organization of Masters, Mates and Pilots (IOMM&P). MITAGS and PMI offer over 150 different courses/training programs that have been specifically designed to enhance your maritime career. Offsite and custom training programs are also available for members who must meet contract company and/or regulatory requirements. For additional information on contract company training, please review the "Required Courses by Company" flyer, which is listed under the "Downloads" section at the bottom of this page.
MATES Program
MITAGS is part of a non-profit Trust called the Maritime Advancement, Training, Education, and Safety (MATES) Program. The Trust has been in operation since 1968 and is governed by a Board of Trustees. The Board is divided equally between both Union and company representatives. Traditionally, the President of the IOMM&P serves as Chairman and the senior company representative serves as Secretary. The Board meets a minimum of three times per year to set policies. However, the daily operation of the program has been delegated to MITAGS' Executive Director. Please note that the MATES Program is not funded by IOMM&P Union Dues or Federal/State Agencies.
ILA/USMX Crane School
MITAGS is also home to the International Longshoremen's Association/United States Maritime Alliance, Ltd. (ILA/USMX) Crane Training Center. This crane simulator is one of only six in the world and provides realistic training for ship gantry, ship pedestal, dock gantry, twin lift, and mobile cranes.
