Our History

Founded in 2002 by Pres. Armando S. Fernandez, the institution began as a Technical School known then as Southwestern Luzon Maritime Institute Foundation. That the same year, it secured registration with TESDA, establishing its commitment to technical and vocational excellence.

In 2007, the school achieved a significant milestone by earning ISO certification, becoming the first institution in its region to receive such recognition-further solidifying its reputation for quality education and training.

Driven by a vision of continuous growth and service, the institution expanded its offerings to include Tourism and

Construction assessment centers, enhancing its role in workforce development. As it evolves into a new phase under the continued leadership of Pres. Fernandez, the school now operates as SCMBT and aspires to become a recognized Maritime Assessment Center under the supervision of MARINA.

Looking ahead, SCMBT is committed to broadening its academic horizons by offering degree programs, while strengthening its partnerships with CHED, DepEd, TESDA, and MARINA to deliver specialized training that meets national and global industry standards.
