In a concerted effort to bolster naval readiness and fortify the capabilities of its personnel, the Naval & Maritime Academy Trincomalee has started two pivotal training programs: the NBCD Advance Course for Engineering Branch Sailors and the Advanced NBCD Officer Course on 08th January 2024.

Participants undergo rigorous training, merging theoretical teachings with practical exercises, preparing them to proficiently instruct and respond to critical situations as NBCD instructors within the SLN.
Advanced NBCD Officer Course

The course integrated simulations and hands-on experiences, preparing officers to adeptly handle diverse scenarios encountered at sea.
Both training programs signify a proactive approach by the Naval & Maritime Academy in fostering expertise and preparedness within the Sri Lanka Navy.
