The MCA Master <200gt CoC / OOW 500 is an MCA issued certificate of competency for code vessels which has no vessel length limits. If you already hold a Yacht Master Ocean CoC then your Master 200 will be issued for use in an unlimited sea area whereas if you hold Yacht Master Offshore your 200 CoC will be restricted to 150miles offshore. With the Master 200 CoC you will also be awarded Officer Of the Watch (OOW) for use on vessels <500gt in an unlimited sea area.

Our course has been put together by professionals and covers all topics within the MCA oral exam. We have years of experience and our research is compiled from previous exams along with input from candidates. Not only do we cover the topics likely to be asked during the exam, we also look at how they will be asked and techniques used to respond. Topics covered will be navigation, the sextant, meteorology, radar & plotting, passage planning, publications, M notices, ship / bridge procedures, marine pollution, COSWP, crew agreements, IRPCS / ROTR, taking over the watch, emergency procedures, passenger management… and much more…although presentation of other topics may be arranged where the whole group should benefit. Tutorials will be delivered as formal lectures and/or demonstrations as appropriate, supplemented by group discussion, question and answer sessions and directed study. Candidates are also encouraged to make full use of other learning resources, including the on-site nautical library, Internet access, training software and feedback from previous candidates. Each candidate gets a free mock orals at the end of the course. This helps them repair any damage before going for the actual orals.
