Who should attend?

The open days are aimed at a broad audience: high school students, university students, adults seeking retraining, parents and career advisers. Anyone wanting a hands-on taste of maritime trades—skippering, maintenance, or port operations—will find the direct exposure invaluable.

What attendees can ask about

  • Course pathways: bac pro, professional qualifications, sandwich courses and modules
  • Internships, work-study rhythm, and job placement rates
  • Accommodation options and daily life on campus
  • Career outcomes: maintenance, sales, port management, nautical management

Why on-site matters: realistic choices from real encounters

Choosing a nautical course often depends less on brochures and more on atmosphere. Meeting trainers and trainees amid tools and boats gives a practical sense of the work: the sounds of engines, the feel of rigging, and the pace of workshop life. For many, a single visit is what helps them recognise whether they “see themselves” in a maritime profession.

Practical tips for your visit

  • Wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothes
  • Bring a notebook and list of specific questions
  • Check demo schedules and join small-group sessions early
  • Registration is recommended via the online form to secure slots
