Certification andqualification support
If you do not hold the legal documents required to work at sea: we work out which training is needed and in what order, point you to the authorised institution, and advise throughout the process.
- 01
Which training you need
The position you are aiming for is compared against the certificates you hold, and we work out exactly which training closes the gap.
- 02
Access to training
We point you to the authorised institution for the training required and plan together which course comes in which order.
- 03
Guidance through the process
Until the paperwork is complete we track which step happens when. When the order gets muddled the process drags on unnecessarily.

Frequently asked
Is experience required?
Not for every position. In hotel and catering an entry-level start is often possible; deck and engine roles carry heavier certificate and experience requirements. We work out which position suits you during the first consultation.
What are the hours of work and rest on board?
The international floor is set by MLC 2006: at least 10 hours of rest in any 24-hour period and at least 77 hours in any seven-day period. Rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which must be at least six hours. The real arrangement above that floor depends on the ship and the watch system; it is written in your contract and in the table of shipboard working arrangements posted on board.
Can I go to sea for the first time?
Yes, there are positions suited to first-timers. Mandatory documents and STCW training are completed first, then the application is made.
Which documents do I need?
The core three: a seaman's book, a medical certificate from an authorised centre, and the STCW training the position requires. On top of those, additional documents may be requested depending on the position, the flag and the owner. The required documents page lists them one by one; once we have seen what you hold, we tell you what is missing in writing, not by guesswork.
Do I need English?
Most foreign-flag vessels expect English at a everyday communication level. If your level is not sufficient we tell you what level you need to reach and share training options.
How long does it take from application to joining a ship?
Quoting a single duration would be wrong. Four things decide it: the state of your documents, whether the position is open, whether a visa is needed, and the owner's interview schedule. If your documents are complete, the timeline shortens. If someone tells you up front “you'll be on board in X days”, that sentence is pretending to know all four unknowns at once.
