École nationale supérieure maritime (ENSM) is the French National Maritime Academy, which trains merchant navy officers. It issues engineering degrees to Navigation Engineers who obtain the Merchant Navy Graduate Diploma (DESMM) and to students who follow courses in maritime engineering, majoring in ship eco-management (EGN) and deployment and maintenance of offshore systems (DMO).''ENSM''

Organization

Heir to the schools of hydrography created by Charles IX in 1571 and the national schools of the merchant navy, the ENSM is a public school which was established in 2010. It is placed under the supervision of the Secretary of State in charge of the Sea. ENSM is certified by Lloyd's Register for its quality management system.''Devenir officier de la marine marchande.''

Programs

Navigating engineer

The ENSM navigating engineer program is a scientific and technical education consisting of theoretical courses, professional situations on real and simulated installations and on-board internships. The program takes five and a half years after the ''

'', and qualifies the graduate as navigating engineers, for licensing as dual-purpose officers of the first class of the Merchant Navy ( master mariner and chief engineer). The graduate receives the ''diplôme d’études supérieures de la marine marchande'' (DESMM) and the title of Engineer recognized by CTI (the French Commission for engineering).

Maritime engineering

The program in "Maritime Engineering Specialty, Vessel Eco-management" (EGN) and "Specialization in Maritime Engineering, Deployment and maintenance of offshore systems" (DMO) are two years master's programs in engineering accessible after the first three years of the DESMM program. It is also accessible by holders of a level II or higher merchant navy certificate: chief engineer 8000 kW, chief engineer, captain, officer in charge of the watch of a seagoing ship, and to holders of the DESMM or of a bachelor's degree in a scientific or a technical field. The program is also open to graduates of a

Master students have a minimum 4-week internship at technician level to be carried out outside the school period before entering the second year of Master studies, and a 24-week (6-month) end-of-study internship at engineer level integrated into their training course (this internship takes place during their last school year from January to June).

Engineers

A three-year program trains watch keeping engineers for the Merchant Navy, responsible for operating and repairing main and auxiliary machinery as well as various service installations. After six months at sea as a cadet and then as an engineer, obtaining the chief engineer's certificate associated with this training makes it possible become chief engineer on ships with a power of less than 8000 kW. The program is open to persons with a ''baccalauréat'', to holders of a BTS in "maintenance of electro-marine systems", and to holders of other two-year degrees.''Inscriptions en ligne.''

Deck officers

A three-year program trains international watch keeping officers for the Merchant Navy. After 12 months at sea, the OCQPI can complete their ENSM training to access the unlimited Master's certificate. The program is open to persons with a ''baccalauréat'' and to holders of two-year degrees.

Cyber security

The master program in "Cyber security of maritime and port systems" is a program sponsored by four schools: The IMT Atlantique, the

Continuing education

In addition to the above programs, ENSM has a large number of professional programs for holders of maritime degrees and certificates. Among them are: Captain, 3000 ton; Chief Engineer 3000KW; Chief Engineer 8000KW; Unlimited Chief Engineer; Electro-Technical Engineer; Unlimited Master; Chief Deck Officer.''Formation Professionnelle.''
