Engine Room Simulator Management Level - MEO Class I (Diesel Engine Combustion Gas Simulator) fees

Course fee

₹8,250

For the whole course of 3 days, paid at booking.

The fee is the same for every candidate, from Kerala, the rest of India or abroad, and the course is held at the Kochi campus. Book a batch date on this page to hold a seat; the fee is paid online when you book.

Fees can change; a confirmed booking keeps the fee quoted when it was paid. Cancellations follow the cancellation and refund policy. Compare with every other short course on the STCW and short course fees page.

Who takes this course

For marine engineers who hold an MEO Class II certificate of competency, with at least 12 months' sea service since obtaining it, and are working towards MEO Class I. It is a management-level simulator course focused on main diesel engine propulsion and combustion-gas optimisation.

After the course

It aligns with DG Shipping training guidance (Training Circular 31/2018) for engineers preparing for management-level propulsion plant responsibilities and their MEO Class I certificate of competency exams. It follows on from the academy's Engine Room Simulator Course (Management Level – MEO Class II) earlier in an engineer's career.

Important Notice

Bring CDC, passport, and certificates on the first day.

Course Details

Course Overview

This intensive Engine Room Simulator Management Level course (MEO Class I) combines short theory sessions with extensive simulator practice to prepare engineers for real-world propulsion decisions and safe operation of main diesel engines. Over 3 days (total 18 hours) trainees work through plant familiarisation, instrumentation & controls, alarm/monitoring systems, performance assessment, and heavy-weather scenarios. The course also features a computer-based combustion-gas simulation module dedicated to finding the best SFOC for a given engine load and fuel grade. Assessment is carried out at course end. Quality standards align with DG Shipping training guidance (Training Circular 31/2018).

Curriculum Overview

The Engine Room Simulator Management Level – MEO Class I (Diesel Engine Combustion Gas Simulator) is an intensive 3-day programme totalling 18 hours (approximately 3 hours of short theory/pre-briefs and 15 hours of hands-on simulator practice), organised into three modules:
