This very popular course attracts students from Ireland and abroad. It is now in its fourth year and the first graduates will be conferred with their degrees this summer.
Students will receive a professional qualification to work in the maritime industry as Electro Technical Officers. It is a requirement by the International Maritime Organisation that by 2017 all relevant ships officers must have a recognised Electro Technical Officer qualification.
Students attend NMCI for two years before doing a year at sea. They then return for a final year to college before graduating with a highly sought after professional qualification which will guarantee them rewarding and exciting and exciting work in the international maritime industry.
It is fair to say that this is one of the very few course available where second year students are actively recruited by the shipping industry. On completion of the four year course over 90% of our graduates are in employment.
Where better to complete your training than at NMCI, Europe’s leading maritime college. With a $100 million dollar state of the art facility located only 1 mile from Cork Harbour,and with great connectivity to Europe, NMCI Services should be your first port of call.
And lest we forget to mention that there is no VAT on training in Ireland so we should definitely be top of mind for all your training needs. If you are still unsure then why not look at some testimonials from delegates who completed training with us here.
So, to cut a long story short we are delighted to announce that NMCI Services are offering a scheduled High Voltage (Management) Training Course,May 18th – 22nd.
