We have introduced a cadet training programme specifically tailored to the industry. The programme follows the Merchant Navy deck officer cadet foundation degree route, with the fundamental underpinning knowledge units such as bridge watch keeping, chart work, ship stability and cargo work, but includes additional super yacht specific units such as super yacht operations, paint care and hospitality.
