COMMON PROGRAM INQUIRIES
•••••
Q: I want to become a seafarer. Which strand should I pick?
Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime Specialization and
TVL: Maritime Specialization are two options to consider if you want to enter the maritime industry.Any strand will qualify for BSMT and BSMarE,
but Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime Specialization—
an Academic Track focusing on maritime subjects—will best prepare you for maritime higher education.Q: What’s the difference between Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime Specialization and TVL: Maritime Specialization?
Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime Specialization places more emphasis on STEM subjects to prepare you for college. TVL: Maritime Specialization focuses on practical skills to prepare you for work right after SHS.Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime Specialization is a modified version of the STEM strand specially designed for students who want to pursue maritime programs in college. We recommend this if you plan to continue studying after SHS.TVL: Maritime Specialization, on the other hand, is more practical than Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime (similar to a TESDA vocational course) and is for students who intend to work onboard right after graduating SHS. After completing this track and passing certain assessments, you should be ready to work in a non-officer role (e.g. deck rating) without the need to go to college. But if you want to become an officer, you must continue to college and take BSMT or BSMarE.Q: I’m from a non-maritime strand. Can I take BSMT/BSMarE?
Yes. We design the curriculum based on our students’ SHS background. The subjects in your curriculum will vary slightly from those of a student under a maritime strand to make up for the difference in specializations.Q: What’s the difference between BSMT and BSMarE?
If you dream of becoming a ship captain, then BSMT is for you. This program will help you master the duties of marine deck officer, including but not limited to navigation, radio communication, and basic safety operations.If you prefer to work in the engine room, then take BSMarE. In this program, you will learn the inner workings of a ship’s machinery, such as its mechanical, electrical, refrigeration, and steering systems.Both programs take at least four (4) years to complete. You will spend the first three years building your academic foundation (Associate Degree). In your fourth year, you will be getting hands-on experience by working one (1) year onboard as an on-the-job trainee. Once you’ve completed the academic and the onboard training requirements, you’ll earn your Bachelor’s Degree.
