Maritime Training
Training disadvantaged Aboriginal youth in maritime qualifications.
Tribal Warrior Association Incorporated is the only Indigenous Maritime Training Company operating within Australia. Our specialised training programs are all via correspondence courses facilitated by a qualified Maritime trainer (OTEN & Western Australia Maritime College).
The Tribal Warrior has successfully trained many skippers who have gained employment and are working boats around Sydney Harbour. One of our former students is now teaching naval personnel small boat sailing skills around the Harbour based at Garden Island. We have trained youth at risk from Inverell TAFE and have other students undergoing courses with us.
