This course is structured into four distinct sections: Basic Seamanship, Meteorology, Stability, and Construction.

Participants delve into the fundamentals of ship construction, exploring topics such as stresses, corrosion, transverse stability, reserve buoyancy, and damage control. Additionally, the curriculum encompasses meteorology and seamanship, watchkeeping, preparation for sea, and maintenance practices. Given the breadth of subject matter covered, engaging in pre-course reading is highly recommended. "Reeds’ Superyacht Manual" serves as an excellent introductory resource.

It’s important to note that as of January 1st, 2017, candidates must hold an Efficient Deck Hand (EDH) certificate issued at least 18 months before obtaining their Officer of the Watch (OOW) Certificate of Competency.

This course is fully redeemable with your ONE Account vouchers (excluding exam fees).
