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.
