For over 30 years Clyde Marine Training has been the first choice for those looking to pursue Merchant Navy careers, and we look to ensure we maintain this position through innovation and close working relationships with all of our clients and partner companies. The shipping companies we represent are amongst some of the largest and best known in their sector covering a wide range of ships such as tankers, cruise liners, bulk carriers, container ships and ferries. We manage the entire process of officer training, from initial interview and recruitment, sourcing of college placement and sea-phases, through to graduation. To achieve this we work only with internationally recognised nautical colleges throughout the UK to ensure you get one of the world’s best maritime qualifications. And what’s more, unlike a normal university or college place, each cadet is sponsored throughout the duration of the course, with training costs being met by one of our Merchant Navy sponsorship companies in addition to a weekly payment made directly to cadets. Clyde Marine Training is a multi-award-winning business, recognised by a wide variety of industry bodies and awards programmes, and a significant proportion of our staff have a seafaring or training background – often both – meaning you can be assured of the quality, knowledge and experience provided.
