Minimum age
16 for language, 17 for maritime orientation, and 18 for programmes involving workplace exposure

Screening
Aptitude or logic screening where a programme publishes a threshold

Why these requirements matter

  • Education requirements help make sure you can follow the course content.
  • Age requirements may reflect legal or employer requirements for the intended pathway.
  • Language requirements help you understand training and communicate safely at work.
  • Document requirements help make sure your profile can be verified.
  • Screening requirements help you choose a programme that matches your current ability.
If you are close to meeting a requirement, ask an adviser. There may be a preparation route that can help you build the missing skills before entering the main programme.
