Officer Cadet Training Programmes

Warsash Maritime Academy (WMA) offers a range of Officer Cadet training programmes for initial Deck, Engineer and Electro-Technical Officer qualification. All courses are delivered by our staff of experienced lecturers, most of whom are former seafarers.

High professional standards are demanded of ships' officers and a cadetship is a challenging programme of education and training that prepares students to meet those high standards.

Learning is delivered by a variety of methods which include formal lectures, practical demonstrations and mentoring. Progress is measured by written and oral examinations, together with the assessment of practical skills and competences.

Success requires a committed and mature approach to both practical and academic work and sponsors take a close interest in the progress of their cadets.
