Additionally, once you complete training, in order to be gainfully employed in the maritime industry, you will need to have your Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC®).  TWIC® is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need access to secure areas of the nation’s maritime facilities/vessels, and others who require a TWIC®. TSA conducts a security threat assessment (background check) to determine a person’s eligibility and issues the credential. U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens in certain immigrant/non-immigrant categories may apply for the credential. Most mariners licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard also require a credential. Regarding card usage and facility access requirements, please contact the U.S. Coast Guard. Learn more about TWIC® card here.  You must be able to pay the $128.00 for this credential. 

NOTICE: All applicants shall be subject to medical and physical requirements  (similar as the merchant mariner credential not needed for this training) as per 46 CFR 10.215/.203 to ensuring employability after completion of the training program.  During the application process for the credentials, along with a drug test, a physical by a physician would be completed.

Passing the medical, physical or drug test requirements DOES NOT prohibit you from registering or completing the Kingsborough NRC Deckhand training program.
