WERE YOU AWARE THAT…….
Sea cargo transportation takes 99% of the world cargo market
and leaves about 1% only (by weight) for the air transportation
industry. The recent boom in the global economy has driven the
sea freight market high and the order books of most of the world’
s shipyards are full through the next 5 years.There are 70,000
ships plying across the oceans, and numbers are expected to
increase very fast. Each ship requires a Captain and three
navigating officers. With the growing demand for new ships,
there is expected to be a shortage of officers globally. Our
course leads the students through a structured training program
preparing them for their first professional certification at sea –
Class 3 (Deck) Unlimited certificate.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
At the end of this course, participants are able to safely and
competently carry out the watch keeping duties on board
merchant ships both at sea and in port. They will be conversant

ARRANGING FUNDS / EDUCATION LOAN

  • For the initial 3 months course at Thailand, the student can take an education loan to cover his total expenses of
    7 Lakhs. The course is approved by Punjab National Bank. Alternate means of loans are taking loan against
    jewellery or taking a loan against property. If required, the student can be sponsored by his parents, siblings &
    other relatives also.

  • During the training on board ship, accommodation and food is free for the cadet. His salary is saved for the
    complete 18 months of training on board the ship. The cadet can also earn about 100 USD / month as cadet
    fund  which is given by many companies. The cadet can save up to 2.5 Lakhs during this period.

  • During his study in the UK, the student is allowed to work part-time i.e. upto 20 hours / week during term time
    and unlimited hours during holidays. The minimum wage rage in the UK is about 5.50 GBP/hour and hence the
    student can hope to earn about 40,000 Rs /month on an average by working part-time. However, the student
    must take care to see that his studies should not get affected because of working during his free hours. The
    total expenses in the UK for food and accommodation will work out to be 7.0 Lakhs on a conservative living. The
    student can hope to earn about 3.0 Lakhs during this period by working part-time.

    present market wages for a 3rd Officer is in the range of 1.0 - 1.5 Lakhs / month depending upon the type of
    ship and the shipping company he joins. In one single contract of 6 - 7 months, the 3rd Officer would be earning
    8 – 9 Lakhs which would help him to recover all of his expenses made during his studies.
