Wärtsilä Land & Sea Academy

Competence and learning are key to success in any business. The Wärtsilä Land and Sea Academy (WLSA) provides high-quality training services for the marine and energy markets, ensuring that your personnel have a strong knowledge of how to manage your assets. Our global training solutions cover all aspects of managing and operating your installation, including maintenance, safety, availability, reliability and performance. The courses and programmes are delivered in the way that works best for your organisation – whether that’s on board, on site, in training centre or online.

Training and competence management have been a vital part of our operations for decades. We support you in assessing, developing and managing your staff’s competences to help you achieve your goals. With products becoming more sophisticated and competent personnel harder to find, training is playing an increasingly important role for operators in both the marine and energy industries.
As our ships must stay operational 24/7, it is extremely important that the crews can master the system. After the training we have been able to operate the system by ourselves. I would recommend this type of training session for other customers with similar needs.
Kari Pihlajaniemi, Director and Head of Saint Nazaire Innovation & Technology Center, Royal Caribbean Cruises

Wärtsilä Land & Sea Academy ­– more virtual courses now available

As countries across the world are taking drastic measures to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, more and more companies are facing the challenge of employees not being able to attend their usual place of work. Distance working is impacting businesses as well as individual wellbeing.


We believe distance doesn’t have to stop business – we just need to find safe, new ways to adjust to this new reality. To this end, the Wärtsilä Land & Sea Academy has taken the decision to stop classroom training courses for the time being and expand our virtual training portfolio.

The majority of our theoretical course elements are now available as virtual training, while any practical elements will be delivered later once we are again safe to host your personnel in our training centres.
Please contact your Wärtsilä representative or info.training@wartsila.com for more information.

Stay safe, stay connected and keep your competence growing.

Wärtsilä has relocated its two-stroke engine training in Europe to the WLSA training centre in Drunen, the Netherlands. The centre offers training for propulsion, environmental, electrical and automation, dynamic positioning, two-stroke and four-stroke products in modern, well-equipped classrooms. In addition, we provide hands-on training using real equipment and simulators at our Land and Sea Academy Experience Centre as part of the training course. Two-stroke training is also available at Wärtsilä’s training centres in South Korea and the USA.

All two-stroke engine training scheduled for 2020 can be found in our training calendar above.
