Training and Sponsorship
You can choose from a range of entry routes, depending on your qualifications and
personal requirements, and you can follow deck or engineering options.
You will follow a planned and progressive programme of learning and experience, with
alternating periods at college and at sea, obtaining the relevant nationally recognised
qualifications and professional maritime certificates. Each route provides progression
opportunities to the next stage, through the ranks to Master/Captain or Chief Engineer,
depending on your chosen option, ability and ambition.
You will be sponsored during your training. The sponsorship package will vary according
to the training programme and the company concerned, but in all cases tuition fees will be
paid and the total costs of practical training and experience at sea will be met by
the company. In some cases, sponsorship will include a salary or training allowance
that will more than cover residential costs at college. |
