I'm currently looking at both these roles but I'm confused at to how I'd get to leading hand helicopter controller or supply chain when they require significant time at sea and extra quals, of which I don't have, as I've never served at sea would I have to do the seamanship apprenticeship to get my foot in the door and then apply from their for the change in role or is that simply not doable?
The websites are limited on how I can do it. The roles that appeal to me always require extra quals which I can't get because I haven't been to sea because obviously I don't have those quals to go to sea! A bit of research suggests even being in the RN wouldn't get me there as it's different quals needed. Is the only other way to go through a private company to gain hours at sea and apply from there?
I'll be 28 when doing the interview process and have good GCSE's, A Levels and completed 2 years at uni which doesn't quite get me to Loggie Officer which is annoying.
I'd appreciate any response as online info is limited. Thanks
