The course focuses on developing the practical skills and knowledge required to work as a General Purpose Hand on board a vessel. Students of this deckhand course will learn to assist with deck operations on vessels up to 80m in Near Coastal waters.
This course is delivered in a blended format. ie partly completed at home in your own time using an online training package and partly completed on our training vessels.
