CENOE (Naval academy training courses for foreign officers), that are entrusted to DCI-NAVFCO, train non-French-speaking foreign officers under a partnership with the French Navy. The objective of this four-year course is to provide foreign officer trainees with military, maritime and scientific education. On return to their homeland, they will be able to fulfil the functions of Officer Of the Watch or Engineering Officer Of the Watch, as well as Head of Department functions on board small ships.

«This ceremony marks a milestone in the career path of these future naval officers,» declared Jean-Michel PALAGOS, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DCI. «It enhances DCI's experience in the transfer of French Navy know-how and life skills to these officers. Countries like Kuwait and Libya trust us to train their future officers. We are extremely pleased with this and strive to make these fruitful partnerships last».
