The cadet training, which before was open for a few only, replaces:- basic seafarer course, - first period of required sea time, and - first college level education, deck or engine. The number of ship owning and ship management companies plus maritime interest groups promoting and organizing cadet training has lately been on the rise ( 2009 / 2010 ). Generally the training is arranged like a multilayered sandwich. Classroom studies are alternating with training and work onboard cargo or passenger ships in regular service. Some small details can vary depending on respective ship owner's and/or Master's preferences. MCA Guidance and Regulations - Training and Certification requirements according to STCW-95 - Deck Department, and - Engine Department, and - Engineer Officer of the Watch ( EOOW ) - Training programme Options [MCA - UK ], STCW 2010, or - Officer Cadet Training Schemes  ( Warshash Academy ).UKSA offers yachting cadetships ( 3 year duration ) leading to officer ( deck or engine ) competence on super- and mega yachts. There are a few companies employing cadets. If you choose Cadet training you get your job training mostly onboard a ship. In November 2009 I heard about some European ship owners reducing cadet's "allowance" from USD 500 to 200-250 per month. Before enrolling in a school for the Ship Cadet course, check the school have agreements with some shipowners to take the cadets onboard for training. There are many schools around the world offering the course but no onboard training. If you enrol with such a school you will have great problems afterwards to get job onboard to get your "seatime". Without actual time onboard you are not allowed to sit the exam for the first license. For description and overview of regular seamen's vocational training go to Advice for Newcomers. If a school cannot guarantee you can get the mandatory 6 months onboard training ( seatime ) before sitting the exam DO NOT ENROL. You will waste the money you pay for the school plus the 6 months you spend learning in the school. It's better to do it the traditional way and enrol in a vocational school's "Basic Seafarer Course". Then you get seatime as an OS or an AB and after three years at sea you enrol in the Navigational College. Plus you can save money while working so you have for spending in the college. To try on your own to find a shipowner who gives you a trainee position onboard for the first 6 months supervised training bridge work can prove next to impossible. Cadet Training in Different CountriesThe cadet training scheme differs from country to country, but the learning objectives are always the same. In the UK for example, Cadets undergo training in a block-release format, spending a shorter time in college before going to sea for a short assignment after which the cadet returns to college. Other countries allow the cadet to finish his/her degree before going to sea, but most countries seem to prefer a system where a cadet completes all of his/her sea time before returning to college for the final year of their degree.Therefore you cannot change from a training scheme in one country to a training scheme in another country in the middle of your training. Even changing from one employer's scheme to another's within the same country is usually not possible because the subjects do not always come in the same order. Even if it would be theoretically possible it's very much frown on because a cadet is supposed to continue working as an officer with the same company that provided the training. Preferable he/she should stay for several years afterwards. "Cadet Crisis" BackgroundIn 1982 the measurement used for fixing ships' port duties, pilotage and canal fees etc, was changed from GRT ( Gross Register Ton ) to GT ( Gross Tonnage ). GT is an unitless index of all enclosed space on a ship. Including space occupied by cadets. In the end this led to increased operations costs for commercial ships. The unintended consequence of the change was to reduce size of accommodation while the ships grew bigger.As old ships slowly has been replaced by new ships with smaller accommodationand no space for cadets - cadets don't bring any revenue - we have arrived at the current situation where the whole cadet training system is about to break down. In June 2010 there was a "summit" with IMO and other organizations in Manila, Philippines. I thought the "cadet space problem" would be one matter to be strongly debated and hopefully solved. Read Cadets in danger of being left high and dry. You must register ( for free ) to get access. However, nothing was solved - may be not even discussed ? I haven't heard anything at all. Hopefully next "Training and Manning" conference, also in Manila on November 18, 2010, will address this worsening problem. Shortly after the above was written / published there came out something new. Something called the "Manila STCW Amendments". It concerns eLearning, i.e. distance studies through Internet connections where the "instructor" is a computer program with a data bank somewhere far away from the student. eLearning programs / simulators are to be incorporated / blended in the regular STCW training. The new amendments would enter into force January 01, 2012. All changes in the training will have to be certified in the same way course curriculums are approved [source: Maritime Reporter (US), Aug. 2010, paper copy]. STCW-95 and STCW 2010STCW-95 amendments were agreed on at the IMO conference in Manila 2010. Therefore the new amended version is called STCW 2010. The new STCW requirements ( amendments ) will begin to apply from January 01, 2012, when they enter into force.Seafarers holding STCW-95 certificates - issued before January 01, 2012 - will have to meet the new requirements for their certificates to be revalidated / renewed past year 2017. By January 01, 2012 all seafarers must have STCW 2010 certificates including some new ones. - New certification requirements for "able seafarers deck" and "able seafarer engine". - New training and certification requirements for electro-technical officers ( ETO ). From July 01, 2013 all new entrants / newcomers will have to be trained according to new standards ( STCW 2010 ). Up to January 01, 2017, seafarers that commenced training before 1st July 2013 may be issued with certificates in accordance with STCW-95 .You can download for free Manila Amendment to STCW - A Guide for Seafarers:STCW 2010 guide for Seafarers ( 508 KB). For information on ECDIS training and certificates. see What's ECDIS ?.Ship Cadet "On-The-Job-Training"Read what a couple of ship cadets have to say about their own training .This is what another cadet is writing a blog about while still under training. There is a ship cadet Forum where you can discuss and get help to your problems while training. Sometimes some small problem can pop-up even after the training!
Cadet Training ProvidersIt's getting more and more difficult for a single private person to find seatime employment as trainee cadet. I therefore copy here from an Australian Ship Cadet Institute:"It is highly desirable that prospective students arrange employment with a shipping company prior to commencing phase one, in order to progress through the on-the-job components of the course."
