    NEW-BANNER

    The on board training berths are much fewer compared to the pre-sea training seats, hence if you do not have an assured sea berth you may even spend a year trying to get an employment with a shipping company.
    In the 1st method you are classified as a sponsored cadet, in the second method you are an un-sponsored cadet.

    What do you mean by a sponsored candidate?
    The term sponsored candidate is used for as a candidate who will be sponsored a sea-berth on board a ship on completion of training. It does not relate to sponsorship of tuition fees at the pre-sea training institute.
