Were a Learning platform built to support deck cadets at every stage of their training. It provides free access to revision material, sea-life guidance, practical resources, progress trackers, and professional development tools—without paywalls or gatekeeping. Everything on DCone is created and shared by cadets themselves, drawing on real experiences from across the global merchant fleet. The platform exists to level the playing field, encourage collaboration, and give cadets worldwide a reliable, practical space to learn, contribute, and progress together.
Deck Cadet One is built by cadets, for cadets. The material comes directly from real class notes, college modules, exam preparation, and shared knowledge between trainees — not from a corporate marketing team or a filtered industry narrative. There’s no bias, no sponsorship angle, and no polished spin. Just straightforward, structured information drawn from what cadets are actually learning and experiencing. It connects theory to practical understanding and focuses on what genuinely matters for developing as an Officer of the Watch.
Deck Cadet One grows through contribution. If you have class notes, revision guides, diagrams, assignment breakdowns, or practical insights from sea phases, you can submit them to be shared with the community — with full credit given to you. Your name stays attached to your work. This isn’t about taking ownership away from contributors; it’s about giving cadets a platform and helping others move forward. By sharing what you’ve learned, you give someone else a boost up the ladder, strengthen the collective standard, and build connections with cadets who are navigating the same path. Learn from others. Share what you know. Raise the bar together.
