Career Counselling & Placement Guidance

Honest career mapping and structured placement guidance — from first exam to first ship.

Overview

What we do

Merchant Navy has more routes than most students realise. Our counsellors — many of whom have sailed themselves — help you honestly compare Deck, Engine, GP Rating, cruise and shore-based routes. Once you have a plan, we prepare you for interviews, help you connect with RPSL-licensed manning agents, and stay with you through placement.
