About the Marine Nationale

On all oceans and seas worldwide, 365 days a year and 24 hours a day, sailors ensure the security and protection of French maritime space. At sea, on land, and in the air, 40,000 sailors mobilize to accomplish intelligence, prevention, intervention, protection, and deterrence missions.

It provides training in onboard ship and boat intervention (IBNB) to all firefighter and SDIS firefighter pathways. In addition to this activity and within the framework of its firefighting expertise, CETIS also provides safety training for personnel from shipping companies and private companies.

Our training organization aims to train personnel by applying the pedagogical resources adapted and necessary for the proper conduct of learning activities.
