Welcome to Maritime Education and Training at City of Glasgow College

Explore a world of opportunity with our industry-leading maritime programs, offering accredited training in Deck, Engineering, Oil and Gas, Offshore, and more. Like apprenticeships, cadetships allow students to “earn while they learn,” with cadets receiving monthly sponsorships throughout their training

Our courses are approved by the MCA, RYA, MNTB, and other prestigious awarding bodies, ensuring you gain qualifications that open doors to well-paid, high-demand roles in Global Shipping, Offshore Renewables, and the Oil & Gas sectors. You'll learn from expert maritime lecturers, including active masters and seasoned industry professionals, who bring real-world experience to your education.

Worried about your results? We also offer a Pre-Cadet programme to upskill individuals who do not yet meet the academic requirements to provide a pathway to the full Cadetship programme. This course is designed for students who have achieved National 4's at school and will give you the minimum academic requirements to apply for a fully sponsored HNC Cadet Programme.
