The new agreement will see the College’s Marine Academy strike a highly beneficial partnership with the INB, creating additional collaborative project opportunities for FdSc Yacht Operations and Marine Technologies students based at Noss-on-the-Dart to engage with overseas students.

Created and managed by sector professionals, the training centre is intended for young people keen to further develop their skills, and train for companies to gain employee skills.
