Training and assessments cover all aspects of the trade, and as you progress, you’ll work alongside specialists in interior coatings, marine trimming and interior design to help bring vessels to life.
Course Content
Working alongside experienced tradespeople, you will develop precision skills and learn to work with marine-grade materials.
