Hello Abi,

Sponsorship in GME basically means a job guarantee. Getting sponsored for GME by a shipping company means that one will be guaranteed a job as a Fifth engineer on-board after the GME programme. Sponsorship exams are conducted by companies on a regular basis.

However, sponsorship only mean that candidates will be guaranteed jobs once they complete their training. The whole course fee will have to be paid by the candidates and the company will not be accounted for the same.

Hope this helps you. We wish you the best for your future endeavours!

Regards
