Character & Leadership Development
Berge Bulk’s cadet training develops character and leadership skills, whilst instilling a sense of duty and responsibility. By teaching cadets how to take the correct course of action with order and credibility, the programme also increases self-reliance, self-confidence and self-efficacy, nurturing a safety mindset from the start of their careers with us.
Comprehensive Maritime Education
This programme introduces our cadets to a wide range of maritime topics, providing further valuable knowledge that goes beyond the education gained from their academic institutes. Safety aspects are discussed in depth, equipping the cadets with the right knowledge to perform their jobs effectively and safely.
Structured Learning Model
The entire programme is structured as a three-pillar model, with ‘on-the-job’ shipboard experiences integrated into the curriculum. The cadets are eventually assessed and evaluated before being promoted to Berge Bulk officers.
Progression & Advancement
Upon completion of the programme, the cadets will continue their development as officers, gradually progressing through the ranks. The best cadets will reach a “Top 4” rank, ensuring that we have senior officers who fully understand Berge Bulk’s values and ways of working.
Rotational Experience
In addition, as part of their experience as cadets with Berge Bulk, they follow a well-structured rotation system, during which they spend time onboard different ships within our fleet. This means that all cadets are well-versed in the operations onboard various Berge Bulk vessels.
“During CPP 1, I gained valuable lessons — particularly in Safety Management and Risk Assessment — and I’ve been applying what I learnt right from day one. My goal is to have a long-term career, right through to retirement, with Berge Bulk, as the company has met my expectations regarding its management and onboard safety standards.”Chari Hemant Rajendra
