Building Malaysia's Marine Engine Excellence

Marine Engine Masters was founded in 2009 with a singular vision: to create Malaysia's premier marine engine training institute, producing world-class technicians capable of servicing the growing marine industry.

Our founder, Captain Ahmad Razak, spent twenty years as a commercial vessel engineer before recognizing the critical shortage of skilled marine technicians in Southeast Asia. With maritime activity expanding rapidly and recreational boating gaining popularity, qualified professionals capable of maintaining modern marine engines were increasingly difficult to find.

Starting with a small workshop in Port Klang and just three students, Marine Engine Masters has grown into the region's most respected marine technical training center. We've trained over 850 graduates who now work across Malaysia and internationally, serving in marina service departments, yacht maintenance facilities, commercial shipping companies, and independent repair businesses.

Our success stems from unwavering commitment to hands-on practical training combined with solid theoretical foundation. While other programs focus primarily on classroom instruction, we believe marine technicians learn best by actually working on engines under expert guidance. Our students graduate with real-world experience and confidence.
