    bear in mind that alcatraz is now a pile of rubble, so only st lukes is left near the college. So get your room booked asap!

    It's not my place to run the boat
    the fog horn I can't blow.

    It's not my place to say just where
    the boat's allowed to go

    It's not my right to dock the boat
    or even clang the bell

    But let the damn thing
    start to sink AND SEE WHO CATCHES HELL!

      also... i started in jan 2011, sitting my oral exams on the 16th dec to hopefully become qualified. I was lucky to get Royal Caribbean, other companies included vroon, willhemsen, zodiac, gulf offshore, carnival and subsea 7.

      it really does not matter which company you get, only a few of the guys in our year have made it to the final stages. All from different sponsor companies. It really is down to personal dedication and if the job is right for you.

        Coastal? So there's offshore companies recruiting in January? Hi, jcwilson91 will do that tomorrow, also I was told that the college managed to secure extra accommodation. Whether that's completely accurate, I am unsure.

          Because Glasgow College is an almaganation of several colleges, they now have accommodation in several places, so I would assume that they send people to other blocks as well (for example there are a couple just up the high street)

            Some of those other blocks can be quite a bit more expensive than st lukes.

            I was told i would have accommodation sorted for me. i arrived on the 6th of jan and nothing was organised and i had to stay with a friend until i secured my own flat.

            if i was you, id do it myself.

              Yeh we had guys with vroon & subsea 7 and some other companies. Yeh I believe the setup is that phase one guys go to st. Lukes and the rest up to the other college accommodation on Havanah street.

                Jonathanl, hope you don't mind me asking, but did Zodiac offer you an officers job at the end of the cadetship? I know they rarely keep their cadets.

                        yeh, its harder to get a deck job, because everyone wants to be that guy from 'an officer and a gentleman'.

                        Also the decky pass rate is higher.

                          Yep ha I have found that out ! And most offshore companies want unlimited dp tickets and pretty much all companies want experienced officers

                            I'm starting with North Star through sstg. Can't wait. I was told my place had been reserved in student accommodation. Not sure where yet.

                                That's for sure. It's certainly going to be interesting
