Overview
Become a leader in the marine industry! Internationally recognized. Outstanding facilities. Work in Canada or anywhere in the world.
This program has been planned in co-operation with Transport Canada Marine Safety and Security (TCMSS) and Canada’s shipping companies. Students acquire a complete education which will prepare them for the occupation of ship’s Navigation Officer. The specialized competencies and work experience also provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary for employment in government and in other marine-related industries.
Grads get great jobs
Graduates find rewarding careers at all levels of the marine industry. A worldwide shortage of qualified engineering and navigational officers means that, once certified, grads are immediately entering the workforce. Entry level salaries can reach $100,000.
Co-op Work Terms
This program includes a co-op work term component where you will gain practical, on-the-job experience in your field.
Students learn through a progressive mix of skills training, shipboard training and academic studies, including navigation training in our marine simulators.
