The Naval Training School is the main training institution of the Namibian Navy. It was created in 2009, and is located at the Wilbard Tashiya Nakada Military Base, Walvis Bay.[1][2]
Recognizing the need to locally train its personnel as it was not sustainable to send sailors abroad for training for the most basic courses, the Navy set up the school in 2009. The school is assisted by the resident Brazilian Military Advisory and Training Team (BRAZMATT) from the Brazilian Navy and was commissioned by President Hage Geingob, who inaugurated the school on 22 July 2016.[3][4]
