Price includes IAMI exam fee
Length:
- 5 Days
Class size:
- Max of 8 students
Course Description:
- This is a 5 day refresher course to help students to pass the MCA Master Celestial exam.
- Students are not required to do the course and can elect to write just the exam on the last day of the course.
- Please note that the Master oral examination needs to be taken within 12 months of completing the Celestial navigation exam as the certificate has a 1 year expiry.
- Although not an official MCA course, this training is intended to prepare candidates for the MCA’s 2 1/2 hour written exam requiring a 65% pass mark.
Unlike the other Master (Yacht) modules, course attendance is not a pre-requisite for this exam because it is intended to re-assess the competencies required for the RYA Yachtmaster Ocean/IYT Master of Yachts <200t Unlimited CoC’s and a formal course is not deemed necessary.
In reality, however, some considerable time has probably gone by since most candidates were last exposed to celestial navigation and a refresher is essential in order to pass the exam.
Please remember that this particular pass certificate has a 1 year expiry.
