Master <500 GT Near-Coastal Oral Prep

Command-level preparation built around how MCA examiners expect Masters to think, decide, and justify actions — supported by structured e-learning modules, examiner-style scenarios, and twice-weekly live interactive clinics.

E-Learning Course Overview

This Master <500 Near-Coastal oral preparation programme is designed for candidates stepping into command responsibility. Rather than relying on memorisation alone, the course focuses on how MCA examiners expect Masters to apply knowledge, justify decisions, and demonstrate safe, compliant judgement in realistic near-coastal scenarios.

Modules are structured to build confident, logical oral answers across navigation, COLREGs, passage planning and monitoring, emergency response, shipboard operations, and UK maritime legislation relevant at this level.

Study at your own pace on any device, supported by twice-weekly live clinics where questions are explored, weak areas clarified, and examiner-style questioning practised.
