Drift Academy & Media CIC

Welcome to Drift Academy

Drift Academy CIC is the training and learning arm of Drift Escapes – the world’s first floating creative nation.

Drift Escapes is more than a destination. It’s a bold new model for living, working, and creating: a floating hub powered by renewable energy, shaped by marine engineering, and designed to bring together culture, technology, and the future of hospitality.

To make this vision real, we need people. People with skills, confidence, creativity, and resilience. That’s where Drift Academy comes in.

At Drift Academy, learners begin with practical, accessible courses — from employability and wellbeing to side hustles and digital creativity. Each course builds confidence for today, while opening a pathway to the jobs of tomorrow: marine engineers, solar specialists, immersive media storytellers, and creative entrepreneurs.

Every certificate, every workshop, every new skill is part of a bigger picture. By joining Drift Academy, you’re not just learning — you’re stepping into the future of work, culture, and innovation with Drift Escapes.
