Meridian Adventure online & practical maritime-based apprenticeship:

The Meridian Adventure apprenticeship offers a complete and multi-faceted maritime-based education with comprehensive online, theoretical classroom training, and practical ‘at sea’ training. The theory modules are integrated with practical experience across a spectrum of vessels including a fleet of 62’ catamaran sailing vessels, mono-hull sailing boats, multiple tenders, and active water sports equipment.

Across the 3-year working apprenticeship, successful candidates will earn 4 Internationally recognized industry qualifications and multiple Certificates of Competence by Meridian Adventure Sail.

Motived as a T.E.A.M (Together, Everyone, Achieves, More), our novice seafarers have established their own charter that guides their actions, grounded in the values of respect, accountability, self-discipline, motivation, trust, integrity, empathy, and unity.

We have recently restructured our program and are refining how we train and recruit. Prospective candidates will be chosen following their successful results on an E-learning platform hosted by our accredited digital partner schools. Following this, we do telephone and in-person interviews to determine successful candidates who merit their place on the apprenticeship that only trains a handful of applicants. The next intake is scheduled for early 2023.
