Why choose a career in the Merchant Navy? 💬
A career at sea is anything but your typical 9-5. It can take you around the world, introduce you to people from different cultures and give you experiences you simply wouldn’t get from an ordinary job!
There are plenty of benefits too, from competitive earning potential and extended leave periods to worldwide employment opportunities, continuous professional development and strong career prospects.
Along the way, you’ll develop valuable technical, practical and transferable skills, including teamwork, resilience and dedication, while becoming part of a close-knit working environment.
At Fleetwood Nautical College, you can begin your Merchant Navy journey from age 16, with multiple pathways in Nautical Science, Marine Engineering and Electro-Technical, a choice of study levels and start dates throughout the year.
