In fact, it takes about five or six months for sailors and mechanics to register, arrange training and obtain a white internship certificate.
Crew training includes the basic qualification certificate and job certificate of the project. Basic qualification certificate means: 1. Basic security, 2. Lifeboat cutting, 3. Basic fire fighting, 4. Safety awareness and responsibility. The time required for the four certificates is roughly between 15 and 20 days.
The employment certificate includes two parts: theory and practice. The theory is to learn textbook knowledge, ocean sailors need to learn English, and domestic sailors don't have English. The practical part is about inserting steel wire, knotting, steering, cable throwing and so on. The theoretical and practical time is about 3 months.
