Deck Officer Cadet
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 10:57 am
Hi all. I'm new here.
I'm not sure if I've come to the right place, but I was wondering if anyone is on the Deck Officer Cadet course? I'm thinking of applying, but have a few questions. Unfortunately, I missed the Open Day at the college a few weeks back.
*Is there a maximum age? (I'm nearly 21)
*What is it like to live on board the ship (is it fun, hard, do you share a cabin etc)?
*Do you get a wage whilst on the course?
*During the 6 months sea-based training, do you get any 'holiday leave' (to go home etc)?
*I'm not very good at maths (however, I did get good GCSEs in other subjects, and I've been to college) - will this go against me?
*I'm female - are there many female cadet officers?
I'd be really grateful for any help anyone could give me. Even if you could direct me to the right place to ask these questions, would be a great help!
Thank you
