Reduced Fare Intern Scholarships.
The ship owners appreciated the assistance interns provide to the ship's operation and are pleased to offer reduced cruise fares and have the ship's crew assist interns in the experiences. Interns provide volunteer work related to the level of their qualifications and skills. These internship contracts are negotiated with the Principal on enrolment.
ACA Scholarship holders will work full shift rosters as coursework interns under the supervision of the ship's hospitality crew managers within a range of hospitality activities to gain wide industry experience according to their current training focus. ACA Scholarship students enter the ship as "Special Persons", are subject to the direction and supervision of their Academy Master and ship's officers in their coursework experience.
ACA-College discipline and procedures apply. Students are not part of the crew of the ship and are not passengers. There is neither offer nor intent of offer of employment to ACA students by the cruise ship or the Academy after completion of their Intern Scholarship contract, however, this does not prevent the cruise company or the Academy from offering employment thereafter. We are always looking for high-quality staff.
Cruise ships contain all hotel functions. While Hospitality students may have a specific focus within their basic qualifications, the ACA internship provides industry experience in all hotel services within the ship to ensure the best possible employment opportunities after completion of the internship. As a registered training provider, ACA can provide extension units of competency for interns to enhance their kitbag of competencies during their internship.
Extra Course fees apply for training in extension units. There is no limit to the duration of the internship, subject to a good report from supervisors and continuing contribution to the scholarship donations from the student's sponsor.
DGR Scholarship Fund donations are required to assist the student. The Academy has established a DGR Scholarship fund to assist students to gain industry experience. During enrolment with Academy for Internship, you or your sponsor agree to donate a contribution to the ACA Scholarship fund according to an agreement with the principal on enrolment. The Intern may remain with the ship under their volunteer contract as long as these donations are paid fortnightly in advance and the volunteer is of the good report with the ship's officers. Part of these donations provides Volunteer work injury insurance.
Conditions of cruise scholarship volunteers Students are provided with passenger cabins onboard the ship and all meals according to their scholarship agreement with the Academy Principal. A range of cabin amenity options is offered. According to the ship's housekeeper, volunteers are required to maintain their cabin and berths to ship hospitality standards who will make regular inspections. Subject to direction from the ship's Purser, volunteers dine with guests, with the ship's crew, or another dining arrangement.
Students may share the common passenger spaces and facilities during the off-duty time, subject to always displaying their Academy Student Name badge. Students are reminded to maintain a good report with the ship's officers at all times.

ACA College has an agreement with Australian & Pacific Cruise Lines to place Maritime students as ACA students aboard the company Cruise ships for their rostered Logbook or Task Book "Seatime" training. Seatimers enter the Designated training ship as trainees, not passengers and not crew. Foreign students will require an Australian Marine Crew Visa.
The Sea Time Day on a cruise ship averages 40 hours per week over 7 days. All "Days" onboard are counted as Seatime Days. This includes rest days.
ACA Seatime Scholarship holders are required to attend Training Logbook work tasks for approximately 50% of their work time (average 20 hrs PW). This time will be supervised by the ship's officers and signed off by the captain or the supervising officer. This time is a requirement of the International Maritime Certificate of competency.
The other 50% of their scholarship time onboard (20hrs PW) will be rostered tasks associated with the various functions on board the ship including proper maintenance of the student accommodation deck and facilities. These tasks will be supervised by the ACA Academy masters in association with the ship's staff. In general, they are part of the Hotel function of the ship but may include other deck or engineering tasks. This contribution of your student volunteer time to the ship compensates the ship for the value of the seatime mentoring & supervision by the officers and hospitality staff.

ACA College scholarship holders are offered a discounted cruise berth fare, negotiated with the Principal on enrollment. This amount is invoiced and payable fortnightly in advance.
A student emergency deposit of $5,000 is payable by berth renters on enrolment, to the Principal's trust account to be used to cover any emergency expenses and to ensure a safe return to home and family if necessary. The principal will drawdown in this fund as necessary and it must be returned to the original amount in the next fortnightly fare invoice. The amount remaining in this student's trust account will b returned on Graduation.
The Emergency deposit is not required for long term seatimers who take up the College Loan Licence to Occupy (LLtO) investment option. This option to use capital instead of paying rent provides an overall saving in fees. The LLtO can be sold to other students on completion of seatime.
The student share cabin accommodation is in a secure ACA cabin deck, supervised by ACA Academy Masters and not accessible by the crew or other passengers. Student berths are in share cabins.
Single student cabin occupancy arrangements may be negotiated.
In this ACA scholarship agreement, there is no offer or intent of employment. It is a fee for service to students to complete their qualifications.
In the event that a person does not wish to share the Academy Scholarship arrangement, including share cabins and rostered chores, "Seatime Supervision" is available to "Bridge Deck Passengers" paying passenger fares together with an extra "Searime Supervision" fee for the time required for an officer to supervise the required 20 hours per week "Task Book Supervision". These fares are negotiated with the principal.
