Changes in section 7.2 and 11
Master (code vessels less than 200 GT)/Officer of the Watch (yachts less than 500 GT) will now consist of a Part A: online computer-based proctored examination and a Part B: online face-to-face oral examination.
We have introduced further information Part A Examinations, a clause which requires any applicant for a third attempt NOE to provide all required documentary evidence for a CoC and clarified the MCA's position on sharing examination booking links with third parties.
