One of the key advantages of Meridian College is that, after completing a vocational programme, students have the opportunity to undertake additional training required for seafarers at the Meridian Maritime Training Center.
In the maritime sector, vocational education alone is often not sufficient for successful employment. It is essential to develop practical skills, complete mandatory and additional training courses, and obtain the relevant certifications. For this reason, Meridian offers students the opportunity to continue their practical training after completing their studies in a professional and modern environment that is already familiar to them.
At the Meridian Maritime Training Center, students can undertake courses in safety, firefighting, first aid, lifesaving appliances, navigation, simulator-based training, and other professional maritime areas.
The training and simulation resources help students transform theoretical knowledge into practical skills. In conditions that closely replicate a real working environment, students develop their decision-making, situational assessment, teamwork, and emergency response skills.
Students and graduates of Meridian College can undertake training at the Training Center under preferential conditions. This enables them to prepare for a maritime career more easily, systematically, and affordably after completing their vocational education.
Why is this important for students?
After graduating from the College, students can:
- continue their professional development at the Meridian Maritime Training Center;
- complete the mandatory and additional training required for seafarers;
- benefit from preferential conditions available to students;
- train using modern simulators and practical training resources;
- prepare for employment and career advancement in the maritime sector.
Meridian College offers students not only vocational education, but also a clear pathway for further professional development — from education to training, and from training to a maritime career.
