Case Studies Archive - Boat Building Academy Graduate Case Studies The student case studies show what a representative sample of people have gone on to do after longer courses. Graduates stay in touch with each other and the Academy via the Academy-run private graduates’ group. The Academy is regularly contacted by employers, people who need work completed on their boats (or a gate making, or a cabin wood panelled, or tables for their restaurant) which, because the Academy does no commercial work, is passed on to the graduates via the network. Boats for sale, boats free to a good home, news and items of interest are also posted.
Graduates are working at, to name a few, Spirit Yachts, Elephant Boatyard, Cockwells, Sunseeker and T. Nielsen and Co. and Douglas Marine.
