Cadets officially complete their training through a national colourful ceremony namely "Passing out Parade" which is normally held with the presence of the Honourable Minister of Ministry of Fisheries & Livestock. This is the most vibrant event in the academy campus and for which the cadets keep on waiting in which they carry out march-past and show the appropriate marks of respect to the Chief Guest. Cadets also take oath to serve at sea and awarded with certificates of Pre-sea training and graduation. Simultaneously, Continuous Discharge Certificate (CDC) is also issued to the cadets of Nautical and Marine Engineering departments by the Department of Shipping which allows them to look south to venture out all the seas around the globe.
