I can't offer any advice, other than to enjoy it.
There was a forumite, whose name eludes me at the moment, who did the course several years back. He hasn't posted for a while but as I recall, he immediately got a job as Engineer on a big yacht although I think he was pretty handy with engines even before he did the course.
When I last saw a posting from him, he was skipper of a big motor yacht, moored at the bottom of someone's garden in Florida and had just supervised a major refit. He seemed to be enjoying himself /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Well done.
