Are you ready to apply? If you are, then please read the following information carefully.

The role of a Merchant Navy Officer is a challenging one and the training required in order to get to that stage is no different. Our sponsor companies need Officer Trainees who are ready to take on not only the difficulties of a life at sea, but also the challenges of several years of academic work. One of the ways we assess the suitability of potential Trainees is by using this online test. If you pass it you may be lucky enough to secure sponsorship, if you do not pass it, then unfortunately we would not be able to take your application any further.

Before starting the online test please make sure you have enough time set aside to complete both this and the online application form which follows – it is best to allow at least 45 minutes, but you may need more. You should have all of your personal information to hand for the completion of the application form, including your passport details, national insurance number, details of academic institutions attended and any qualifications gained, medical information and details of your previous work experience. You will also need full contact details of two people who are willing to provide references for you, one of which MUST be of a professional nature relevant to your previous job or education e.g. your last or current employer or a recent school teacher/headmaster.

If you do not have this information to hand then please come back later when you do, as all applications submitted must be completed in full. Please note that you do have to complete the application form online, we cannot send you a paper application form to complete.

Good luck!
