Navigation
Captain
First Mate
Second Mate
Third Mate
Engineering
Chief Engineer
Second Engineer
Third Engineer
Fourth Engineer
There are two main streams for officer training. One is the traditional route of starting as a crewmember and gaining sea experience and then writing the Transport Canada challenge exams to obtain the next level of certification.
The second method is to attend one of the major post-secondary institutions that offer Cadet programs and combine academics with co-op sea time placements to sit the Transport Canada examinations for certification as a Third Mate or a Fourth Class Engineer.
For navigation and engine cadets the minimum education pre-requirement is a high school diploma with a minimum of Grade 12 English and Mathematics for Technology or equivalent.
In addition to the officer positions there are a number of other rewarding shipboard positions including:
Bridge Watchman
Able-bodied Seaman
Ordinary Seaman
General Purpose Watchkeeper
Mechanical Assistant
Tunnelman
Galley positions
