College of the Sea

Members of the Sea Cadet Corps can now enjoy access to Europe's biggest e-Learning resource: the Defence Learning Portal.

We are the first volunteer-led organisation to secure such access. More here

Summer 2008 and a new suite of courses is on offer.

Nutrition Awareness, Sports Management and the Sports Higher Diploma are now available for those who are looking to improve their knowledge in nutrition and exercise or for those who wish to gain a professional qualification in sports and recreation management.

Delivered in association with our partner - the National Extension College - these courses are entirely distance-taught and require no attendance for examinations.

If you work with the Sea Cadet Corps then you might like to regard the College of the Sea as your one-stop shop for learning and development opportunities.

We offer a range of tutor-supported distance taught courses and you can also find out about CVQO provision for SCC adults.

We've teamed up with the UK's biggest provider of distance taught degrees to offer an exciting opportunity to gain a recognised and worthwhile qualification in youth work: Foundation Degree in Working With Young People. And what's more we're offering scholarships to cover costs to all who work with the Sea Cadets!

You can find both the scholarship and Foundation Degree application forms in our Download Centre.

All forms must be completed and returned by 15th August 2008.

In partnership with Middlesex University, The Marine Society is offering a unique route for seafarers to top up their HND or Foundation Degree into a full honours degree by means of a programme that is entirely distance taught.

We're also offering a route whereby seafarers can use their Class 1 certificate of competency to gain a Masters degree through work-based learning - all without the need to step ashore!
