Exactly what you take is based on what you have current. Some are here 3 weeks, others 6. I met 1 who was shipped out before any training due to need in the fleet. You will be in class 8-9 hrs/day. If no class is scheduled, you still need to report and mill around smartly to “earn” your pay. Some classes spill into the weekeknd too. Lots of contract mariners (union blokes) and the academys do trining here too.
