Face Your Examiner.
Before You Face
The Real One.
MCA Orals GPT is the UK’s first AI-powered MCA oral examination practice platform — built in partnership with Glasgow Maritime Academy. Practise against an AI examiner who knows MCA examiner’s style, questions from thousands of MCA orals feedback reconstructed by candidates of their memory, and the complete MCA syllabus for every rank from OOW to Master and EOOW to Chief Engineer.
⚓ MCA Syllabus Aligned🎓 GMA Assured⭐ 1000’s Real Oral Reports🌍 14000+ possible questions
A Partnership Between
Combining 25 years of superyacht management expertise with decades of MCA oral examination training excellence.
Not a course. A brain.
20 years of MCA oral examination training, distilled into one AI
Think of it as a lecturer who has read every maritime textbook, code, notice and regulation ever published — and remembers every word.
From Preparation to Certificate
Three steps to MCA oral readiness
Select from 10 MCA rank pathways — OOW, Chief Mate, Master, EOOW, 2nd Engineer, Chief Engineer, ETO, Yacht Master, FV Licence, or Master 500/200. Your 10-minute free trial begins immediately.
Your AI examiner asks real scenario-based MCA questions drawn from hundreds of genuine oral feedback reports. Answer by voice. The examiner probes, escalates and keeps you on your toes — just like the real thing.
Receive a detailed PASS or FAIL verdict with topic-by-topic breakdown, STCW competency gap analysis, and your downloadable GMA Competency Assurance Report — stamped and issued by GMA.
Two Modes. One Goal.
Whether you want exam realism or relaxed coaching — we have both.

Built on Real MCA Intelligence
Not generic AI. Purpose-built maritime examination intelligence.
1000’s Real Oral Reports
Our AI has been trained on thousands of MCA orals feedback reconstructed by candidates of their memory — including verbatim questions asked, examiner styles, and the exact scenarios that have caused candidates to pass and fail over several years.
Official MCA Syllabus Aligned
Built on MIN 653 (Deck, Nov 2024) and MIN 654 (Engineering, Nov 2024) — the official current MCA oral examination syllabuses. Topic weightings, pass marks, and critical error thresholds match MCA examiner guidance exactly.
Named Examiner Intelligence
MaritimeGPT builds intelligence profiles for named MCA examiners from real candidate reports. The AI knows which topics each examiner favours, their typical strictness level, and their known difficult questions.
Examiner data used for session optimisation only. Names never displayed to students. GDPR compliant.
Continuously Learning
The AI updates its question bank from every session — detecting new patterns, recalibrating topic difficulty, and flagging emerging examination trends. The longer it runs, the sharper it gets.
