| == Royal Manticoran Merchant Marine Specialty School ==
| |
| The Merchant Marine Specialty School trains merchant spacers to move into a range of ship- and planet-bound specializations that support the vast merchant marine enterprise. These highly specialized course sequences allow merchant spacers to pursue one of four specialized rank sequences and/or to take on specific billets within TRMN. The four specialized departments are Engineering, Deck, Catering, and Medical, while a General Endorsement school covers a range of topics from security, crowd management, and small boat handling (coxswain).
| |
|
| |
|
| Finally, the Merchant Marine Specialty School offers a limited opportunity to pursue course credit from ‘real world’ third-party engineering, deck, catering, and health industry courses through an External Studies program. Recommended are free courses available through the Alison.com learning management system. BuTrain has ‘pre-approved’ a number of these courses in the four areas, and each has been given a MEDUSA course name that directly mirrors the Alison course title.

| The General Endorsement Department courses are open to personnel from all other departments. These courses are for what are normally considered ‘collateral duties’ taken on by individual merchant spacers with another regular job on the ship. From vessel security, crowd management, and small boat handling (coxswain), merchant spacers learn how to react in a crisis and take on heavy responsibilities during emergency situations.
