Course Objective

After obtaining Class 2 Engineer CoC, marine engineers sail as 3rd or 2nd Engineer for a period of 18 months. Some may sail even as 4th Engineer, mostly doing operations level work. To take on the responsibility at management level requires changing their mindset to think as a manager, make risk based decisions, build confidence to lead ship staff and update their knowledge. Class1 CoC Orals preparatory course has been developed in close cooperation of MPA, the CoC issuing authority, and the maritime Industry.

This course will prepare a candidate for COC Class1 orals exams and develop competence to take on the responsibility of a Chief Engineer of a ship in accordance with STCW 95 Convention.
