WHO SHOULD APPLY?
At this time, expressions of interest are being sought for the course by email from individuals who have a basic knowledge of ‘shipping’ and want to expand their practical knowledge of ship building in particular. However, applications from existing, more experienced marine surveyors keen to extend their knowledge in this area are also welcomed.
It is likely that the successful candidates for the course will have one or more of the following entry requirements and/or pre-qualifications:
• A BSc in Marine Science, Marine Engineering, or Naval Architecture
• Post graduate experience in a marine related industry such as Marine Insurance, Underwriting, Broking, or Ship Design
• Two years working for a Non- Classification Society Marine Surveying company
• Ex seafarer: Second Engineer, Chief Engineer, Chief Office, or Master
• Be a competent Marine Surveyor
Other qualifications will be considered on their merits along with an applicant’s previous background and experience.
The course will be conducted in English. Students must have a GOOD skill level in both written and spoken English. Candidates need to be medically and physically fit.

completion of the course, certified and issued by the International Institute of Marine Surveying.
10 CPD points will be awarded to members of the International Institute of Marine Surveying on successful completion.
FINAL EXAM
Students will be required to sit a one hour multiple choice exam on the final day. The exam papers will be passed to the International Institute of Marine Surveying who, as previously stated, will issue the certification for this course from the UK.
Students will be required to keep a journal throughout the course. This will form a personal training record for each individual.
The journals will be vetted for accuracy and content by the Course Administration before the student finishes the course.
VISA, OTHER COSTS AND CONSIDERATIONS
It is the responsibility of the student to apply for and gain the correct Visa and papers to enter South Korea. Before applying, the applicant is advised to find out about their own visa requirements to enter South Korea, as a tourist, before making a formal application. For British Citizens it is normally possible to gain a 90 day tourist visa on entry.
The cost of the Visa is the responsibility of the student.
The student will need to organise and finance their own flight/s to and from South Korea. The main international airport is Incheon in Seoul. There are connecting flights to Busan, Gimhae Airport (approx 1 hour). However, it may be necessary to transfer in Seoul from Incheon to Gimpo domestic airport by bus and then fly onto Busan.
There is also a high speed train service (KTX) from Incheon Airport to Busan Station at selected times throughout the day (approx 3 hours 30 minutes).
Busan, Gimhae Airport also has an International Terminal, so the students may be able to fly into Busan International Terminal directly from another country (i.e. Japan).
The student is required to take out basic medical and travel insurance for the duration of the visit to South Korea. Medical Services are very good in South Korea, but you do need to pay, or have a valid insurance policy.
Neither the International Institute of Marine Surveying, nor Broadreach Marine Ltd, will cover any normal medical expenses incurred by the student whilst in South Korea.
