If you’re aged between 18-25 and dream of working on board superyachts for a living, Cowes-based charity, UKSA might just be able to help.
They are offering the chance of a lifetime, by covering course fees and even paying a maintenance grant on the Trinity House Yachting Cadetship for four young people.
The three year course starts this autumn and includes a Foundation Degree in Operational Yacht Science.
Developed with the MCA and their approved training guidelines, the Cadetship provides students training coupled with valuable paid work placements working on superyachts all over the world.
Jon Ely, Chief Executive at UKSA, commented: “The Trinity House Yachting Cadetship offers students a unique opportunity to study to the very highest level whilst gaining qualifications and invaluable work experience – and all fully funded by Trinity House. We are proud to be able to offer such exciting opportunities to the successful applicants, and look forward to working closely with them to help them achieve their career goals.”
What qualifications do I need?
Okay, you have to be between 18 and 25. You’ll need to have GCSEs (or equivalent) in English, Maths and Science, passed with grades A-C, as well as A or AS level qualifications equivalent to a minimum 120 UCAS points – or equivalent worked based learning for those over 21.
Next step is to get an application form from UKSA and make sure you get it back to them by 30th June 2010.
