The course provides industry qualifications and the opportunity for candidates to train to a high level in their chosen trade and then to progress through the company.

This year's final year graduates began the scheme in 2008. Four of them have also been shortlisted to take part in a week-long final appraisal for the annual Worshipful Company of Shipwrights Queens Silver Medal. The annual competition will see 18 representatives in total from the UK's shipbuilding industry attend the assessment course at Kielder Water, Northumberland, with the winner announced later this year.
