Our Merchant Navy Open Day aims to give you an insight into what a career in the maritime industry has to offer and the training programmes necessary to qualify as a ship’s navigation or engineer officer in the merchant navy.

Many of the major British shipping companies and recruitment & training representatives who recruit cadets and crew will be there to give information about the career opportunities they offer.

You’ll be able to talk to our officer cadets, who’ll be happy to share their first-hand experience of the training and life as a cadet, both at the City of Glasgow College and on board ship.

A number of our training facilities are open and you’re welcome to tour the campus and accommodation nearby. Our working engine room will be running all day, giving you first-hand experience of a working engine room. Also, our bridge simulators will be working giving you the chance to experience piloting your own ship.

The website and poster give more information regarding the event, and we hope to see you on the day.
