How to Apply
The CSNCOE has a robust outreach program once course dates are established. Priority USCG candidates can expect to be contacted directly, though this does not preclude others that meet the pre-requisites from applying. We also advertise the course information to each cruise line, classification society and other industry stakeholders directly through our customer service representatives.
