Before you can work at sea you'll first need to follow the STCW '95 Basic Safety Training course and perhaps the Advanced Fire Fighting course.
If i were you, i first would find a company or a crewing agency to work for. Both courses are pretty expensive, each course is around €1200. If you are lucky, they will pay it for you.

Hi scottie davis,
There are a quite a few agencies about, here is a link to one;

They don't mention any training courses but it is obvious that they are looking for experienced staff. There is a page where you can apply and you need to supply a CV.
Crew4sea is another agency you could try.
These are just some of the results I got by searching with 'sea crew work'.
Have a look around and see what you can find.
Regards, Dave

Merchant navy? As in ferries and cruise ships, not the Royal Navy. ;)

I know but there is a difference as I pointed out between the merchant navy and royal navy, I assumed he meant he didn't want to join the royal navy so I suggested merchant navy meaning ferry companies.
As a second suggestion, how about the RNLI?

Has some info, if you have a minimum of 5 GCSE's including english maths and physics then you should be able to apply as an officer cadet. Unfortunately opportunities for British ratings are very limited, but there are still a few companies who are training ratings.
Why limit yourself to the south coast though? There is a great big world out there.

Hi Wave Music,
To anyone whose native language is English it is pretty obvious what he is saying.
What is your native language?

Perhaps it's a good idea to make a trip first as deckhand or something like that. That way you can find out if you really like working at sea.
I regurly see apprentices quiting and basicly wasting a few years of their lives. The problem, atleast at our country, is the fact you first go to school for 3 years to become an officer without ever sailing a mile. Some of them quite during their apprenticeship, because they dont like the job as much as they thought they would like it.
