The course will include gaining on the job experience by serving on board Serco operated vessels and periods of study at the Fleetwood Nautical Campus of Blackpool & The Fylde College. Periods at colleges will vary but will normally be between 2-6 weeks. This will allow you to gain the knowledge skills and behaviours required to complete the assessments you will undergo throughout the apprenticeship including the end point assessment undertaken with IAMI, which will enable you to gain a Small Vessel Chief Engineer COC.

  • To assist in vessel statutory inspections and classification surveys of assigned vessels, attaining knowledge of relevant rules and regulations.
  • To undertake training and demonstrate competence to deal with emergency situations afloat, including fire, sea survival and other courses.
  • To attain and demonstrate a good working knowledge of company procedures relating to the engineering department including record keeping, ordering spares and safety procedures.
  • To obtain the required sea service in the time period allocated by the Maritime Training Officer.
  • To comply with the UK Merchant Navy Code of Conduct at all times
  • To undertake other duties and training commensurate with the level of the post as may be reasonably required from time to time.
