Dear Visitors,
Welcome to the website of the Hellenic Navy NCO Academy.
The purpose of this website is to provide information about the Academy’s training and activities, as well as to maintain contact with our foreign graduates.
The first effort to establish a Naval Boys’ School was made by the Decree of 17 March 1879, which provided that “…the crew of the steam vessel ATHINA, to be fitted out after the completion of its repairs, shall serve as a school for non-commissioned officers, seamen and boys…”. Since then, the Academy has existed and operated to this day under various names and has been relocated to different parts of Greece, such as Poros and the Salamis Naval Base. Finally, on 13 August 1991, its seat was transferred to the SKARAMANGAS area, where it operates to this day. In its more than one hundred years of operation, it has produced Navy personnel who took part in every war in which Greece has been involved.
The Hellenic Navy NCO Academy is a Higher Military NCO School (ASSY) and belongs to the upper tier of Tertiary Education. It is a three-year programme, and its mission is:
To provide incoming cadets, on the one hand, with appropriate military and naval training and, on the other, with the necessary theoretical and practical education and technical training, in order to produce NCOs who are capable of meeting the duties of their specialty.
Graduating career NCOs of the Navy staff the warships, units and services of the Hellenic Navy to which they belong.
Young men and women, if you wish to pursue a career in the Hellenic Navy as NCOs, if you feel you have the strength within you to serve your country in this role and to live a life full of excitement and adventure, you need look no further than these pages.
Thank you very much for your visit.
