Courses offered by NOA

In order to create and promote a new marine industry, we have created a place for learning, interacting and experiencing offshore wind power generation. We call on Japanese companies and research institutions that are interested in offshore wind power to participate widely, and create opportunities for them to learn and interact together.

＜Important Notes＞

Regarding each course,
  • For the FY2026 session, the in-person venue will be as follows: Courses A0, A1, A2, A4, A5, A6 and A7 will be held at Nagasaki Ocean Academy. Courses A3, C2, C3, and C4 will be held at Engineering Advancement Association of Japan (ENAA) in Tokyo.
  • With the exception of Courses C2 and C4, all courses will be conducted in a hybrid format, combining in-person sessions with online streaming.
  • Courses C2 and C4 will be conducted exclusively in person.
  • When registering, please select either In-person or Online.
  • The maximum number of in-person participants is limited to 16 (on a first-come, first-served basis).
  • Course registration is open until Thursday (midnight) of the week before the course begins.
  • We will make every effort to follow the scheduled timeline; however, please understand that the session may be slightly delayed depending on the Q&A interactions with participants.
  • If you are unable to make a reservation for any reason, please contact our academy for assistance.
Regarding the On-site Program:
  • On the third day (Thursday) of courses held at Nagasaki Marine Academy, the Goto On-site Program will take place. This optional program includes visits to offshore wind turbines and installation vessels, as well as discussions with local fishermen who coexist with offshore wind farms.
  • The Goto On-site Program requires an additional fee separate from the course fee.(¥80,000 for A1–C4 course participants, ¥100,000 for A0 participants and those not enrolled in any course)
  • The following are included in the participation fee: [Round-trip Jetfoil fare (Nagasaki Port to Fukue Port) *Arrangements will be made by the secretariat, and round-trip tickets will be provided before departure.] [Sea taxi usage fee] [Local transportation fee on the island] [Meeting room usage fee] [Lunch expenses (prepared in advance by the secretariat)] [Island insurance fee] (*Expenses not listed here are the participant’s responsibility).
  • Departure from Nagasaki Port at 07:40, completing site visits in Goto, and exchanging opinions with fisheries-related individuals, arriving at Nagasaki Port at 17:30 (Participants are free to go their separate ways in Goto. Please note that the schedule may be adjusted depending on the season and ferry operation times.).
  • To have both hands free on the ship, please participate with a backpack, body bag, waist pouch, etc. Additionally, due to changing weather conditions depending on the season, please participate in clothing that allows temperature regulation and comfortable movement, along with non-slip sneakers.
  • Coin lockers at Goto Fukue Port are only small, approximately 40 x 35 cm. Since the sea taxi’s interior is small, please use hotel storage or coin lockers at Nagasaki Port Terminal, etc., for large luggage. However, if you plan to bring large luggage to Goto for the return trip, please contact the secretariat in advance to secure storage, considering the return trip’s convenience and the possibility of the return Jetfoil being canceled.
  • If you are concerned about seasickness, please bring motion sickness medication.
  • Please be cautious about valuable items falling into the water. The secretariat will provide waterproof smartphone cases; please use them if necessary.
  • For those returning from Goto City without using the Jetfoil on the same day, either staying overnight or returning by air, cancel by phone before departure and proceed with ticket refund procedures at Fukue Port (a refund fee of 200 yen is required).
  • Even for those planning to stay overnight or use an airplane for the return trip, the secretariat will prepare round-trip Jetfoil tickets. Please note that we will not invoice the participation fee after deducting the return refund fee, so please understand.
  • In the case of Jetfoil, although the outbound route may be in operation, the return trip may be canceled due to sudden changes in wave conditions caused by worsening weather, etc. The final decision on cancellation is made one hour before departure. If the secretariat is informed of the cancellation decision, we will promptly notify you and coordinate the return. The return to Nagasaki will be by ferry (arriving at Nagasaki Port at 20:00, with the secretariat handling the change process) or by plane (arriving at Nagasaki Airport at 17:40, Fukuoka Airport at 18:55 – please confirm in advance). However, there is a possibility of cancellation due to weather conditions such as poor visibility. In the case of the ferry, it will not make it in time for flights to Haneda, etc., from Nagasaki Airport. On the other hand, in the case of the plane, it seems possible to transfer to flights to Haneda, etc., from both Nagasaki Airport and Fukuoka Airport, but please be careful with luggage storage.
