Suitably qualified Year 12 students may apply for admission to the Year 1 - Certificate in Pre-Sea Training (Engine) course. Special consideration will be given to tradespersons. Applicants will need to obtain a traineeship/cadetship with a Shipping Company in order to undertake the seagoing components of the program.
Career Outcomes
The course prepares students for a career as a Marine Engineer officer. Engineering entrants need to obtain sponsorship with a shipping company as 'cadets'. The shipping company arranges periods of sea service between the academic sections of the course. Anyone wishing to take up a seagoing engineering career should therefore approach the various shipping companies with a view to obtaining sponsorship. A list of companies is available on application.
