Starlink Maritime Specialist (2026 Certified)
Starlink Maritime Specialist (2026 Certified) online training course provides a comprehensive, practical understanding of deploying Starlink on maritime vessels and integrating it into real onboard networks. You will learn how to engineer Starlink as a reliable WAN service at sea, including service plan selection for ocean coverage, hardware considerations for harsh marine environments, vessel installation standards, network design (segmentation, security, QoS), performance monitoring, and structured fault isolation.
The training focuses on real-world maritime scenarios across all vessel types (commercial, workboats, offshore, and leisure), covering operational constraints such as Global Priority use on the ocean, Priority plan availability expectations, and how to design monitoring and incident workflows around Starlink’s Priority/Global Priority SLA framework.
What you’ll learn
- Understand how Starlink Maritime service works, including why Global Priority is required for ocean use and how that impacts vessel operations and voyage planning.
- Explain the differences between Local Priority and Global Priority plans, and select the correct plan for coastal, territorial, and offshore operations.
- Identify and apply best-practice installation concepts for vessels, including sky visibility planning, mounting considerations, cable routing/penetrations, vibration management, and corrosion-aware workmanship.
- Understand marine hardware survivability expectations (IP ratings, harsh environment considerations) and the practical implications of indoor/outdoor equipment placement.
- Integrate Starlink into a vessel network using an enterprise approach: firewall placement, segmentation for crew/business/OT, traffic governance, and remote support readiness.
- Configure Starlink for third-party router/firewall integration using Bypass Mode, and understand what changes operationally when the Starlink router is disabled.
- Apply performance monitoring and troubleshooting methods aligned to Priority/Global Priority expectations, including understanding the 99.9% uptime SLA model for Priority plans and how to capture evidence for incident escalation.

Posted on Nana Appiah25 February 2025 I was enrolled on the complimentary LTE Fundamentals Training Course, good course completed the LTE Fundamtals test passed. The information on LTE was clear ans very layout.Posted on Stanley Lim6 February 2025 The contents of courses are comprehensive and detailed, equipping individuals with the skills necessary for their profession.Posted on Kirk Brotherton1 February 2025 I’ve found SATOMS very easy to use thus far - having a flexible timeframe for completion has allowed me to work on my VSAT Course when time permits, which works great for me as I work 9 to 5. Looking forward to completing my course and becoming qualified in my chosen field(s). Thanks SATOMS!Posted on Wee Seng Wilson Ng (Wil)1 February 2025 Enrolled in VSAT Installer course previously and went through everything at my own pace. The good: 1. Online based using browser, thus no need for top of the line computers, even your browser on smartphone works. The bad: 1. The interface will be stuck, and I can't proceed to next module until emailing support, no idea why this happens but it just does to me. Hope the issue is solved, or do not happen frequently.Posted on Augustin Bernard16 January 2025 Personal Experience: As someone who has completed the Fundamentals of LTE Technology training, I found the course to be incredibly informative and engaging. The content was straightforward and easy to understand, making it accessible for beginners while still providing valuable insights for more experienced learners. Overall, the training provided a comprehensive overview of LTE's purpose, historical context, and its pivotal role in modern telecommunications. It equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to appreciate the significance of LTE and its impact on the industry.
