If your organisation works in maritime and you can see a way we could work together, tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
Employers and shipping companies
Train or upskill your deck and engine crew around the certificate they need next. Sessions run one-to-one at our Rainford centre or online, and we invoice your company afterwards.
Training providers and centres
Co-deliver a course, host one of our dates, or add our oral preparation to the offer you already run. We bring tutors, materials and certification.
Schools, colleges and careers teams
Talks and workshops on how a cadetship actually works: entry requirements, ENG1, sponsoring companies, CVs and interviews. Our cadetship guide covers the same ground for students and parents.
Charities, funds and access schemes
We work with organisations helping people into, or back into, the maritime sector — scholarship holders, service leavers and career changers who need structured preparation.
Guest tutors and assessors
If you have sat and marked MCA orals, or taught a subject we do not cover yet, we would like to hear from you about delivering sessions with us.
Let's build something together
Send us a short note about your organisation and what you would like to do — we will come back to you with how we could make it work.
Trusted by Leading Organisations
