New sea training centre sees first potential engineers
New sea training centre sees first potential engineers
The National Sea Training Centre, in partnership with the University of Greenwich, saw success last month. Student, Manish Chandy, became its first student to complete an approved pathway to qualifying as a ship’s engineering officer.
Manish completed the BEng (Marine Engineering) with the University of Greenwich whilst at the same time working towards his Officer of the Watch licence by completing the NVQ in Marine Engineering Operations with NSTC, which is part of North West Kent College.
He was sponsored by the Ship Safe Training Group in Rochester which organised his shipboard placement with Stephenson Clark Shipping Ltd aboard the M.V. Dallington and M.V. Storrington. This enabled him to get the required sea time for his NVQ portfolio and gain the required experience required for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency oral examination for Engineering Officer of the Watch, which he has just passed.
Paul Russell, Head of School of the National Sea Training Centre, presented Mr. Chandy with his NVQ Certificate and £50.00 in book tokens to congratulate him on his achievement. He is looking forward to taking up his first appointment as an engineering officer.
