National shipping is a growing industry that may be one of the solutions to our sustainability challenges in the form of more environmentally friendly transport, but also in tourism. As a coxswain, you can also be the driving force behind boat transport to islands in the archipelago and ensure that these can continue to have living communities in the future.
In practical terms, the role of coxswain means that you drive a boat inshore. The role often also includes responsibility for technical systems on board. The profession means that you need to thrive in an operative environment, that you can make quick decisions and at the same time are service-oriented as a person.
The training is career-focused, which means that many of the teachers themselves have worked in the maritime industry and have practical experience of the profession.
