Hello everyone.
This is a rather vague posts but I hope someone could give me some advice.
I'm 27 and have wanted to be a Deck Officer for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately I've never been in a position to entertain the idea of applying until now. I am going to redo my Maths & Physics GCSE's as I only got a C at school but feel confident I can get an A in both within 2012. I then plan on applying for the 'HND Nautical Science' route. I'm dedicated enough to study for a Maths & Physics A-Level as well but this is yet more time I would rather not have to use up before starting a cadetship.
Does anyone have experience applying as an 'oldie'?
And would me re-studying my GCSE's to get better grades be seen as a plus?
I have a background in engineering and also will be doing some volunteer sea rescue work so feel confident provided I get the required standards.
Any help or advice would be great.
Good luck to everyone applying!
