Course Description

A programme of study leading to Chief Mate and Master Certificates of Competency for candidates who have successfully completed a Deck Officer cadetship via the Foundation Degree (FdSc) route. Please note that candidates who completed their FdSc cadetships at another UK maritime college will be required to undertake an FdSc Command Management unit with students on the Chief Mate examination route, although they do not need to sit the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) examinations.

Candidates will receive a number of presentations designed to update them on current marine issues and legislation, and prepare them for the MCA Signals examination and MCA Oral examination. The NARAS(M) course is also undertaken as part of the programme. 

Candidates must have a minimum 18 months sea service as a watchkeeping Deck Officer while holding STCW ‘95 Table A II/1 Certificate of Competency (Watchkeeper), and hold a valid personal medical fitness certificate recognised by the MCA. Overseas students will also be expected to hold an English language qualification to IELTS 4.0 or equivalent.

Candidates must also hold an STCW certificate in ‘Proficiency in Medical Care aboard Ship’ before taking their MCA Orals. Additionally, candidates who completed the NARAS(O) course prior to 1^st January 2005 must have completed an IMO Model 1.27 ECDIS course before undertaking the NARAS(M) course. Both of these courses can be undertaken at WMA outside of the main course.

Once a Chief Mate Certificate of Competency has been achieved, candidates must return to sea to accumulate a further minimum 18 months sea service as a watchkeeping Deck Officer before taking a Master’s MCA oral examination to gain full Master’s certification.
