Welcome to your gateway to the world. Here you'll find out about the amazing opportunities available through a Merchant Navy Cadetship at City of Glasgow College.
Our training programmes are highly respected and provide you with internationally recognised qualifications. You'll combine studying at college with practical hands-on training working on board a ship at sea.
A cadetship is a form of training that combines practical on-the-job experience and formal, facilitated training. During your cadetship you will have five phases over three years split into 3 phases at college focusing on classroom-based learning and 2 phases at sea focused on practical experience and accumulating sea-time requirements. There are different starting points for cadetships depending on your qualifications and even an Access Course if you don't have the required qualifications.
Each Cadetship is sponsored by a sponsoring company. This typically means your studies and living expenses are paid through a bursary. On top of this, whilst you are at sea on placements you are still receiving income.
