After you've qualified

Once you've successfully completed the Deck Officer Cadetship, not only will you have a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Nautical Science or a Foundation Degree in Marine Operations, along with a Certificate of Competency, but you'll also have a long and rewarding career to look forward to.

These qualifications will enable you to work as an Officer on one of our cruise ships and earn an excellent salary. There will be many different career routes you can follow right up to Captain, who is in overall command of the ship.

Alternatively, later in your career you may wish to transfer ashore and choose from one of the hundreds of roles available to you including Port Pilots, Marine Lawyers, Surveyors or Fleet Operation Managers. By studying for a career at sea, you really will have a secure, exciting career for life.
