The Diploma of Technology in Nautical Science is a globally recognized, cooperative program which is accredited by Transport Canada in accordance with the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 as amended in 2010 (Manila Convention).
This cadet program is designed to:
prepare students for employment in marine transportation;
provide a strong theoretical and practical education in the field of nautical science;
produce graduates who are capable of accepting the responsibilities and performing the duties assigned to them as ships officers;
prepare students for professional recognition as seafaring officers by Transport Canada and to sit for the remaining Transport Canada examinations for the Watchkeeping Mate Certificate of Competence.
During the program, the cadet must accumulate a minimum of 360 days of approved sea service. This is acquired through compulsory sea phase periods which are governed by the Marine Institute General Work Term Guidelines and the Nautical Science Work Term Regulations. These sea phases are guided work terms for which accredited logbooks must be kept and the employers carry out personal evaluations of the cadets.
