Hello, we’re UKSA!

Our Mission: To widen access to maritime training enhancing the life skills and employment within the sector.

We are a youth education and maritime training charity based in Cowes, Isle of Wight. Our charitable status enables us to deliver so much more than training and certification alone. We provide a unique environment and exceptional opportunities for everyone, focusing on both practical and life skills. Our careers students also benefit from our unrivalled mentoring service, realistic advice about the incredible opportunities available within the maritime industry, and access to our job placement website.

Our work is focused in four key areas: training for maritime employment, non-standard education for school-age children, building essential life and work skills, and adventure and personal challenge.
