Details

This guidance provides information and outlines the oral examination syllabuses for fishing vessel Deck Officers, leading to the issue of a UK Certificate of Competency.

This is guidance to all Owners, Masters, Officers, Ratings and those concerned with maritime training. This guidance should be read with with MGN 411, MIN 690 - Amendment 1 and replaces the syllabuses published on UK seafarer careers: Training provision, information and examination syllabuses. This replacement has been made for formatting and accessibility purposes only, no content has been amended during this move.

These syllabuses are progressive from grade to grade. The syllabus for a higher grade in both written and oral examinations is always regarded as including the syllabus for the corresponding subject, if any, for certificates of a lower grade.

Although English is not included in these syllabuses as a separate subject, candidates are expected to show a good standard of English in their descriptive answers and the marks obtained will to some extent be a reflection of their skill in the use of the language.
