We offer blended learning MCA orals for candidates who are having trouble with ship rotation or who want to study while working. The course is designed in a way that you would attend classes in your days off. We will give you a checklist to follow and complete tasks. You would need 70 hours of class contacts. During your days away at sea we would give you online tasks to complete. Although it takes longer to complete but so far not even a single candidate on blended learning has failed his MCA orals. The cost of blended learning MCA orals standalone is £2400/-

With blended learning orals you have the flexibility to attend classes as an when you like.

(Please note class timings are Mon to Fri 0900 to 1700 UK time – and only 1st two weeks of every month)

We deliver MCA orals starting first Monday of each month.

Currently we are offering the orals prep in virtual class by zoom app (already done batches since March with 100% pass rate). See how below.

It will also cover emergency procedures directly related to the safety of ships and the protection of the environment, advanced operational engineering knowledge and the legal and administrative duties of a Chief Engineer Officer.The course is primarily concerned with preparing candidates to answer the MCA Examiner’s questions based on studies previously undertaken.
