The MCA Deck oral examination syllabus is mapped to the relevant STCW Code tables. The oral examination forms part of the assessment for the attainment of all MCA Certificates of Competency, and all candidates must demonstrate an adequate knowledge of the English language. Following the initial one-year roll-out period of this syllabus, no feedback has been provided and as such the guidance has been extended for a further two years.
