    Hi, There is navigating officer on ships, not ship pilots. Your son will have to pursue merchant navy in order to become a part of the ship crew. There are two ways of becoming a navigating officer.
    1. Through a 3-year degree course of B.Sc. In nautical Science and then get placed in a company. Many colleges and universities offer this course.
    2. Another way is through a Diploma course which is called DNS (Diploma in Nautical Science). You must get sponsorship from a company for a job.
