ST. THERESE - MTC COLLEGES Training Center

Uniquely gifted with a seaside campus which overlooks the lower Guimaras Strait, the Maritime Training Center beckons the warm blooded and the adventurous to carve his niche in the Maritime Industry. So engrossed and determined were the pioneers in fulfilling this avowed objective of turning out only the pick of the crop that they lost no time in laying the appropriate groundwork for such an ambitious program.

The brainstorming finally led to the formation of the nucleus organization whose end view is to serve as a necessary compliment in one integrated system of molding the finest Filipino seamen. That is, as time, effort and resources would allow. It is the realization of the vision of the late founder, Atty. Arturo A. Sebastian.

On March 4, 1983 the Maritime Training Center Inc. came into being and was issued a permit by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports to offer short courses including firefighting, survival at sea, lifeboat handling and first aid at sea.   On February 23, 1984, the Maritime Training Center was renamed to the St. Therese – MTC Colleges Training Center.
