What happens next for the candidates?2023-06-08T10:40:47+03:00

After the interview, cadets take a test on their knowledge of English and their specialty. They need to achieve a passing score. The final stage is an interview with the captain or senior engineer, who assesses how well the candidate’s specialty knowledge meets the requirements.

Is it scary to go through the process?2023-06-08T10:40:26+03:00

For many candidates, this interview experience is often their first one, and they are usually nervous. But during our conversation, the fear disappears. They understand that I am not expecting anything unrealistic from them.

First of all, it is necessary to submit an application, but what awaits candidates after that?2023-06-08T10:40:05+03:00

We invite candidates for an English language interview, where we discuss their interests and ambitions. The main goal of such an interview is to understand how well a person can communicate, especially on professional topics, in a mixed crew. If the candidate needs to work on their English level, I always point out the gaps and advise on how to fill them for a better result during the interview.
