    Apply for scholarships, bursaries and learn about other available financial aid options.

    Nationally Accredited Training

    Work domestically or internationally with a certificate that is recognized global.

    Start In the $12 Billion/Year Marine Industry

    The marine industry is looking for enthusiastic mariners to join or advance in its ranks. With over 373,000 jobs in the Canadian Marine industry, you couldn’t ask for a better opportunity with excellent career possibilities.

    As mariners retire and projects like LNG Kitimat come online, demand for qualified, experienced people is increasing, creating shortages for mariners to fill these roles.
