Pay & Accommodation

[weerossi]

September Engineer Cadet at GCNS. I am just wondering if the Accommodation is paid for by your sponsor company or does the accommodation fees come out of your ?170 you get a week? Any1 else Engineer Cadet in GCNS september intake, be sound to hear from you.

Cheers

Re: Pay & Accommodation

That depends on your sponsor...

In general, some large companies give you a lump sum to sort out yourself; the training mills (like Clyde) and crew management ones seem to pay your accommodation costs either directly to the college (for the first term), or through a "lodgings allowance", that they pay to you (or maybe some make you post them the bill, I dunno).

There are several GCNS-ers on board who can offer more detail.

Clyde marine doesn't pay accommodation costs at all.

They pay:
?170 for the first and third phase of college.
?120 for 2nd and 4th Phase at sea
?190 for fifth phase (final phase)

That's what we all got anyways...
