Naututor was born out of a shared passion for maritime education and a commitment to supporting aspiring seafarers in achieving their career goals. Founded by RAHIL TP, a nautical navigation officer dedicated to assisting fellow mariners in their navigation exams, Naututor initially focused on providing study materials for 2nd mates, chief mates, and master exams. RAHIL TP assembled a group of accomplished authors united in their goal of delivering top-notch study resources for maritime professionals seeking advanced certifications.
The journey of Naututor took a pivotal turn with the introduction of AMAN JOSHEY, who recognized the need to guide and protect fresher students navigating the intricate landscape of exams such as IMUCET and sponsorship exams for DNS. AMAN JOSHEY identified the prevalence of fraudulent services targeting inexperienced individuals aspiring to join the merchant navy, prompting the collaboration between RAHIL TP and AMAN JOSHEY to establish Naututor as a beacon of trust and excellence for students preparing for IMUCET.
Together, RAHIL TP and AMAN JOSHEY combined their expertise, vision, and dedication to create Naututor, a platform that not only equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their exams but also safeguards them against misleading practices prevalent in the maritime education sector. Naututor stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing aspiring seafarers with reliable and high-quality educational support as they embark on their journey towards a fulfilling career in the maritime industry.
