MEDICAL
All Merchant Navy personnel aboard ship including cadets must be in possession
of a valid seafarers medical certificate, known as an ENG1, issued by
the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). This is usually arranged after
you have been interviewed and provisionally accepted for a cadetship.
However, if you have an underlying medical condition that you believe
may cause a problem, please contact us and we will advise you on the best
course of action.

To qualify for a cadetship you must be a
citizen of the EU normally resident in the United Kingdom. This
is due to the regulations governing the provision of grants funding
the training of officer cadets for the British Merchant Navy. |
