Cadets - Can I Join?

A-Level

As an A-level or equivalent candidate, you must have studied either Maths or Physics (or a subject with a high Maths content) to `A' level standards and obtained a pass in at least one.

You must achieve at least 120 UCAS* points to be eligible for enrolment on the Foundation Degree scheme.

* Here is just one of the many UCAS points calculators available on the web: http://www.merlinhelpsstudents.com/studentlife/beforeuniversity/ucas/ucaspointscalculator.asp

Prospective Deck Cadets must obtain a Maritime and Coastguard Agency sight test certificate, which states that they have an acceptable level of eyesight and do not suffer from colour blindness. Those taking the test will be allowed to use the aids to vision which they normally use, but will be expected to meet the set standards. Prospective Engineer cadets do not have to pass this test, but must have reasonable vision in each eye, though good colour vision is essential.

An eyesight test should be arranged at an appropriate venue after the application stage.

All candidates must be of good health and be able to pass the Maritime and Coastguard Agency Medical Examination (ENG 1).  This should be arranged at a later date, following a successful interview with the Company.

Normal entry age is 16 to 23 years of age at the time of entry.

When choosing people to work at sea we select on the basis of ability and suitability (i.e. being able to pass the relevant Maritime and Coastguard Agency medical and eye examinations).

Our Company is committed to the principle of Equal Opportunity in employment. We oppose any form of less or more favourable treatment being accorded to employees or job applicants on the basis of their colour, disability, ethnic origin, gender, nationality, marital status, race, religion, sexual orientation or gender reassignment.
