This course is for Second Mates who already hold a Second Mate (Foreign Going) Certificate of Competency issued by the Government of India and have completed at least nine months of sea service after obtaining it. It is the first of two preparatory phases officers take at Eurotech Maritime Academy on the way to a Chief Mate Certificate of Competency, not a first-time or mandatory basic safety course.
Completing Phase I moves the officer on to Chief Mate Phase II, the next preparatory stage in the same qualification track offered at the academy. It does not itself carry a certificate of competency; that comes only after the DG Shipping examinations further along this route.
Bring CDC, passport, and certificates on the first day.
This course prepares seafarers holding a Second Mate (FG) Certificate of Competency (CoC) with the requisite sea service to attain the competencies necessary for the role of Chief Officer on FG vessels. The curriculum aligns with the standards set by the STCW Convention and the Directorate General of Shipping, ensuring comprehensive coverage of essential subjects and practical skills.
The course encompasses theoretical and practical training modules essential for the Chief Mate Phase I examinations.
