Seafarers' Training

The website www.machmeer.de (in German only) provides information on training in the maritime industry specifically for young people. It provides information on the various training profiles, schools, training companies, types of ships and much more.

The training and further education of seafarers takes place in maritime vocational schools, technical colleges and universities of applied sciences as well as in other training facilities and on training ships. The basic prerequisite is always the medical fitness for sea service of the interested person. In addition, seagoing service on ships is always mandatory.
