Versatile and unlimited officer training.

This training enables you to obtain the highest possible qualifications in the merchant navy, both on deck and in the engine room. You can then work on all sizes of civil ship. The courses given enable you to acquire all the resources needed for future deck and engine officers, with no limits on tonnage or power, so it can be described as versatile and unlimited. After a scientific baccalaureate, I studied for 4 years plus a year's work experience at the Ecole Nationale de la Marine Marchande in Marseille. Last qualification obtained: DESMM (Bac+5) (Master 2).
