All training staff and functionaries are volunteers and serve for free.  Aimed at preparing youth for a career at sea: 5 SAQA Paths, seamanship, engineering, catering, first aid and communications. Fire Fighting is also offered as a certified course.  SAIMI supports the Sea Cadets to attract and recruit our future Seafarers from this pool of youngsters - in order to lower the attrition rate and reach Operation Phakisa targets.

The Sea Cadets undergo a host of training scenarios which include but are not limited to Maritime skills.  Acquired skills also include those intangible social attributes of self¬ discipline, self-esteem, self-worth, self-confidence, self-identity, self-resilience, self-attitude, successful teamwork, leadership and citizenship, all of which underlie the training and which directly impact on the Cadet's ability to concentrate, learn, consolidate, think and apply information or skills which will be necessary through life. All of which will translate into whatever field of endeavour the Cadets progress to on reaching adulthood.

The Maritime training and skills development elements form the cornerstone of the training offered to boy and girls, as an extra-mural activity to their schooling, from Grade 6 at school until they leave school at the end of Grade 12.

Annual projects include training and skills development for the Sea Cadets made up by 6 levels of competency.
