Picture this: a state-of-the-art technical school located on the picturesque coast of Cape Breton Island – the perfect place to train for a career in the marine industry. Students from all over the world come to Nova Scotia's Nautical Institute to learn exciting new skills and get the chance to develop these skills with a unique hands-on approach to learning.
The Nautical Institute is part of the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) Strait Area Campus in Port Hawkesbury. One of only five schools of its kind in Canada, it trains anywhere between 1,500 to 1,700 students a year. The Institute offers courses for students interested in all aspects of the marine industry, from Watchkeeping Mates, Engineer Officers and Deck Officers to management and shore-based operations. "We do it all, from when people start going to sea, right up to master mariners," says Murphy. They also offer safety training and professional upgrading for those already working in the field.
