Objective:
Responding to the needs of the charter sector, marinas, and the broader maritime industry, we offer a 6-day course designed to equip participants with the essential skills and competencies required for the role of Deckhand.
The course is designed for individuals seeking essential skills to start working as deckhands, as well as for companies looking to provide initial training and further develop the practical skills of their deckhand staff. All program segments are carefully structured to reflect the dynamics and types of tasks deckhands encounter throughout the working year.
Through preparation and a strong focus on practical training, participants are able to perform their duties independently and responsibly upon completion of the course.
