Still unsure about whether life on a Cruise Liner is for you? Check out a testimonial from a past delegate below;
“I completed the Gateway to Cruise Line and Ferry Industry course at the National Maritime College of Ireland. With top class facilities and exceptional, knowledgeable and experienced instructors, this course was a major success”.
“I have learned invaluable skills, gained awareness and knowledge which I will use when working on-board Cruise Liners. Having a past employee of a major Cruise Liner be part of this programme transformed the course and gave a real insight into the Cruise Line Industry. I could clearly imagine exactly what it would be like to work and live on-board”.
“I always had an interest in travelling the world while working; what it would be like to work on-board a cruise liner. Not alone does the course answer my question; it has also given me the training, knowledge and confidence needed to seek out work on-board a Cruise Liner. I would like to thank SNO, CETB and all the instructors for their time and dedication in making this course a major success”.
