Default Re: Advice on shipping career

I'm just about to finish my Engine cadet training with Clyde Marine sponsored by Zodiac. As has already been mentioned, speak to all the training providers(listed here ) and go to a college open day if you can and speak to the recruiters there; just remember to take what they say with a pinch of salt(especially Clyde!). The time to do the HND or the degree is about the same, so it's down to how you learn the best; the degree requires more research and essay writing, whereas the HND is more rote learning. Both end up with you having a CoC. Any questions PM me and I'll try to answer.
