No experience needed, just curiosity and an eye on where the industry is heading.

Get ahead of the wave. Be one of the first to operate the vessels redefining life at sea.

Take the helm, go from interested to operational in two days.

Built for those ready to move beyond the basics, our three-day intermediate course puts you in command of Uncrewed Surface Vessel operations. You'll develop real operating skill across both local control and remote operations, building the confidence and competence that employers in survey, offshore wind, defence, and environmental work are actively looking for.

This is where curiosity becomes capability. Over three days you'll deepen your understanding of how these vessels are planned, controlled, and operated safely on the water  the practical foundation for a career in one of maritime's fastest-growing sectors.

The industry is moving fast. This is how you keep pace.
