“My interest in the maritime industry grew when I got my first job working hospitality on the Cook Strait Ferries. After about 8 months into the job, I began thinking about the whole industry. I remember seeing the bridge and was simply amazed by the technology, equipment, and more importantly, the people. This is the workplace I wanted, I started searching online when NZMS popped up.??
I gave it a few weeks thought and applied, I’m so glad I applied to do this. The tutors are fantastic at helping each and every student through the challenges whether that’s practical such as knots, lifeboat driving or the theory side of things such as physics and maths.”
