This course is designed to prepare new recruits for a life at sea. Working on a ship can be hazardous occupation for the uninitiated. This course will give new seafarers an insight into the various elements of a ship and working procedures on board so that they may adjust to the shipboard environment, and are better prepared to cope with any unforeseen circumstances. To that extent, this course is planned to make their transition from a shore to a sea career smooth and give some knowledge of ship’s operations and practices before they actually step on board a ship.
