Our next intake is as follows:<\/p> Three engineer\u00a0cadets in January 2017.<\/p> All cadetship applications should be sent directly to Ship Safe Training Group Ltd (SSTG), stating clearly on the application form that it is our Company that you are interested in.

This means that we create a workforce that is loyal and very familiar with our culture and ethos.<\/p> For day to day management of our cadets, as well as our fleet training needs, we work in conjunction with our government approved training provider Ship Safe Training Group Ltd (SSTG).<\/p> <\/a> For SSTG enquiries please contact: The British Merchant Navy is the name for all civilian commercial ships and seafarers registered in the United Kingdom. It includes all kinds of ships, including cargo ships, tankers, passenger vessels and many others. 95% of everything that arrives in this country comes by sea - and it's all brought in by the Merchant Navy.<\/p> A Merchant Navy Officer's career is unlike any other, and it comes with brilliant travel prospects, challenging work and excellent career development opportunities.<\/p> For a start, you'll be paid to receive free training, leading to either an HND or Foundation Degree - with the option to top either up to a full BSc. You'll gain these qualifications without needing a student loan!<\/p> After about three years training, you'll be able to gain the United Kingdom's Maritime and Coastguard Agency Officer of the Watch (OOW) ticket - which is recognised and respected internationally.<\/p> Your training will be unlike any other university course - it's incredibly varied. You'll learn fire fighting, lifeboat handling and advanced first aid, alongside academic subjects, such as astro-navigation, ship stability and maritime law. Your career development opportunities are as varied as your training. You could work on almost any ship, anywhere in the world - carrying cargoes, conducting research, supporting maritime structures like wind farms and oil rigs, or even supporting the Royal Navy on operations.<\/p> There are two major departments at sea, although some vessels have many more.<\/p> Deck Officers navigate the ship at sea, and control the ships operations - most commonly, cargo loading and discharge. They learn a wide variety of skills, both modern and traditional - such as the theory behind GPS, and how to navigate by the stars should it fail. They learn how to handle the ship in confined waters, often with a minimal margin for error.<\/p> Engineers operate, maintain and repair the vessel's machinery, and maintain a watch over the engine room. They are responsible for ensuring the ship has the fuel and the power to do its job, and make sure the ship's machinery is operated to maximum efficiency. They have to be able to maintain and repair every item of equipment on board - as the nearest service engineer may be over a thousand miles away.<\/p> Other departments found on different vessels include Electro-Technical, Catering, Entertainment, Security, Communications and Administration.<\/p> You must be able to be away from home, friends and family for prolonged periods - anything from a few weeks to 5 months or more, depending on your ship. You'll need a high level of commitment, and the ability to work and get along with others in a very tight-knit team.<\/p> Academically, you need a minimum of 4 GCSE's, which must include Maths, English and one Science at grade C or above. To do the foundation degree, higher entry requirements apply, including A levels - but both routes lead to exactly the same career!<\/p> Physically, you'll need a reasonable level of fitness, and you must meet minimum standards relating to eyesight and hearing. Certain medical conditions may also exclude you.<\/p> Whitakers sponsor a number of Deck and Engineer cadets through their cadetship, and provide sea-going training within their fleet.<\/p>General Applications<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
