What is the NAS Training Programme?
The NAS International Training Programme has been delivering courses in nautical archaeology for over 25 years. The programme aims to provide not just an introduction to the subject but also to offer people a chance to build their skills and experience, allowing them to take part in projects and fieldwork around the world and perhaps to run their own projects
The Training Programme has a modular structure, starting with a one day Introduction Course and working through the Part I, II and III Certificates and finally the Part IV Diploma. The programme is open to everybody with the Introduction course requiring no prior learning or qualifications and the programme is designed to allow you to become as involved as you like - with courses in a wide range of topics and subject areas within nautical archaeology there is something for everybody!
For more information on each of the different levels of the training programme please follow the links on the right...
The NAS has many Training Partners around the world, so if you are interested in training courses outside of the UK, please visit our International pages to see if there is a Training Partner in your area. If there is no-one near by, don't worry - if you have a group who are interested we can always come to you!
NAS Tutors are based around the world and have a variety of different backgrounds. They have experience in a wide variety of projects, on the foreshore, on dry land and underwater, meet some of our Tutor Team by clicking here
