Programmes

Find the programme that fits your goal

Every BIWD programme explains who it is for, what you will learn, how you will be assessed, what it costs, and what it does not include.

The cruise & passenger-ship pathway

Most cruise candidates move through these stages in order. Your assessment result tells you where to start.

Candidate Assessment

By appointment. A practical, knowledge and English benchmark for hospitality candidates, or a profile and document review for deck and engine crew.

City & Guilds Diplomas

Five Level 2 diplomas — food & beverage, culinary arts, patisserie, housekeeping and reception — through an approved centre.

Professional Readiness

English, grooming and interview preparation that run in parallel with your diploma.

STCW Safety Training

STCW Basic 5 and Passenger Ship Safety, coordinated with the National Maritime Institute, Madaripur.

Conversion & Upgrade

Shorter routes for people who already have hospitality experience or sea service.

Other programme areas
