Maritime Schools
Maritime schools provide specialized training for careers at sea and in the maritime industry, focusing on hands-on skill development rather than a traditional university degree. Unlike maritime universities, which offer four-year degree programs with a mix of academics and maritime training, these schools emphasize certifications, licensing, and practical experience to prepare students for entry-level and mid-career maritime roles. They are ideal for those looking to quickly enter the workforce or upgrade their credentials for career advancement.
