NGO Project Coordinator
A unique marine conservation and PADI Divemaster training program based in the Seychelles, designed to prepare you for a career in the environmental field. The team of coordinators will train you on the various environmental challenges of the region.
The training program is comprehensive, including a theoretical phase (3 months) at the base camp, followed by the PADI Divemaster course (3 months) at a partner dive center. The goal: to become a dive guide and an expert in marine biodiversity in the Seychelles.
The marine research program in the Seychelles provides all the knowledge and professional techniques needed to work in the environmental field. Raising awareness among locals and visitors about environmental issues is one of the project’s key objectives, aiming to positively influence policy decisions on conservation strategies.
Participants specialize in marine conservation and learn research techniques on the region’s marine species during the initial 3-month training at the base camp. You will also take part in other activities such as training sessions, marine debris clean-ups, and data collection.
Like all of our training programs for working in the environmental field abroad, this project in the Seychelles allows you to combine a PADI Divemaster course while contributing to the preservation of local ecosystems.
This professional training program is part of the so-called “career” projects. In addition to the environmental mission, it provides real guidance and allows you to access a project coordinator or dive guide position within six months, enabling you to work in the environmental sector or related fields.
Here, you combine theoretical training with practical learning, including online modules to complete before and after the mission. Upon completion of the program, you will receive an internationally recognized certification issued by the University of Richmond in the United States.
Support is provided before, during, and after the project. A coach will guide and assist you throughout the program, and after completing the project, you will gain access to a job platform with NGO opportunities worldwide in the environmental sector.
