MCA Master 200/OOW 500
SeaRegs offer a regular programme of preparation courses for Master 200/OOW 500 candidates along with most of the ancillary training. Our prep courses are 5 days and have developed over the last few years to concentrate on areas of the syllabus which candidates struggle the most with.
Students receive plenty of resources to help with their own pre and post course study, our dedicated team of Instructors are happy to help with any last minute questions in the run up to the Oral exam.
MCA Boatmaster
To become an MCA Boatmaster, candidates have to take both a practical and oral assessment with their MCA Local Office. SeaRegs are an SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) approved centre for the MSQ units leading to the Level 2 Diploma in Maritime Studies. Successful candidates are eligible to use the Level 2 Diploma instead of the oral assessment.
SeaRegs can provide oral and practical preparation courses for individuals and groups at our venue or yours. The duration will depend on your knowledge starting point.

From 2017 Masters and Officers of the Watch working on vessels fitted with ECDIS are required to attend generic ECDIS and type specific training. SeaRegs Training have MCA approval to run the Generic course based on MNTB and IMO 1.27 Model Course syllabus.
