The Ship Safe Training Group (SSTG) was founded over 35 years ago. We operate as a not-for-profit organisation working with our members who are UK shipping companies to provide a recruitment and training service for their ship’s officers.
We organise and supervise cadet training programmes to provide high quality and progressive training and support throughout their college and sea-based phases.
SSTG provides sponsorship for cadets to take up their career at sea. This provides for financial support whilst training at college and at sea.
SSTG also provides a range of careers information materials for careers advisers on request.
We also manage training for existing seafarers who are actively seeking to progress their careers.
SSTG is affiliated to key maritime training providers throughout the UK ensuring a high standard of training in well-equipped and accessible centres.
