Which is better 4 years marine engineering after diploma in mechanical or 2 years pre-sea training(DME)?
I am interested in working in the maritime industry and obtaining a shipboard position.
In that case, both options have their advantages. 4 years of marine engineering after your diploma will give you a deeper understanding of the field and make you more marketable to employers. On the other hand, pre-sea training will provide hands-on experience that could give you an edge in obtaining entry-level positions. Have you considered the time and cost involved in each option?
