Maritime Training

Training for a career at sea unlocks a world of opportunities, and Stream Marine Careers is here to support you every step of the way. Throughout your Cadetship, you’ll experience a blend of practical and theoretical training, preparing you for the dynamic life of a Seafarer

Comprehensive Training Programs

In addition to your academic studies, you’ll complete essential short courses known as “STCWs.” These courses are crucial for obtaining your STCW certificates, which are required to go to sea. Many of these courses are completed during your first phase at college and often provide your first hands-on experience.

Hands-On Learning and Skill Development

The short courses are often the highlight of your initial college phase, giving you practical skills and experiences you might not have anticipated. As a seafarer, you’ll need to be versatile and adept at various skill sets.

Career Progression

You don’t stop learning at the end of your Cadetship, much like passing your driving test you learn more when there is no one sat next to you. Your skill set will advance through out your career. A career in Maritime is about life long learning.
