ABOUT ETO'S

Success Story
When I was first looking at the Pre-Cadet programme, the promise of assistance and applying for sponsorship, as well as specialised classes covering the Merchant Navy and its operations, really appealed to me. I have now secured an ETO sponsorship with Disney Cruises, and I’ve loved developing my knowledge and sea survival skills.
