Preparation for Cadet Training

These courses are most students' entry point to a career at sea in the Merchant Navy. The Level 3 Diploma has sponsored and direct entry (non-sponsored) routes and there are Deck (Nautical Science) and Marine Engineering pathways in both routes. 

Find out more about how to get sponsorship on the Careers at Sea website.

If you don't manage to secure sponsorship and join us via the direct entry route, we will support you in securing a sponsored cadetship at the end of your Level 3 qualification. 

You can download our prospectus for more detailed information and we'd love to see you at one of our maritime careers events.
