Course Description
A programme of study leading to Chief Mate and Master Certificates of Competency for candidates who have completed a full Cadetship including achievement of NVQ Level 3 in Merchant Vessel Operations and, normally, HND in Nautical Science, but do not wish to follow the NVQ Level 4 route to Chief Mate/Master certification by the UK's Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA). This course enables candidates to achieve Chief Mate and Master Certification by the SQA examination route.
Candidates will receive tuition and assessment in 'Marine Engineering Systems' & 'Emergency Planning' as well as the NARAS(M) course, and preparation for the SQA examinations in 'Navigation' and 'Ship Stability', and MCA Signals & Oral examinations.
Candidates should have a minimum of 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 STCW 'Medical First Aid' course certificate and a valid personal medical fitness certificate recognised by the MCA.
Candidates must also hold an STCW certificate in 'Proficiency in Medical Care Onboard Ship' before taking their MCA Oral examination. If not already held, this course 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.
