Course Overview

A career at sea offers a wealth of exciting opportunities for anyone looking for adventure and a job away from the usual humdrum of a desk job. The Merchant Navy is the collective term for commercial shipping. Merchant Navy includes a diverse and extensive industry sector with a variety of vessels from cruise liners, containers, general cargo, tankers, aggregate seabed mining, surveying and scientific exploration, ocean cable laying and repair, wind farming integration, tugs, and offshore support and emergency response and recovery. This fast-moving and technologically advanced industry requires highly trained ship officers in Navigation (Deck) with a Certificate of Competency issued by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency's primary responsibility is to prevent the loss of life on the coast and at sea. They produce legislation and guidance on maritime matters and provide certification to seafarers in accordance with International Maritime Organization, which is a specialized agency under the United Nations responsible for regulating shipping. Since the merchant fleet operates in international waters and foreign ports with a multinational crew onboard, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency follows the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers to standardize training, certification, and watchkeeping.
