Chief Mate and Masters Oral Prep — Unlimited — Audio Course

One certificate of competency. One oral. Chief Mate Unlimited and Master under three thousand — decided in a single video call with an MCA examiner who will cascade you from a grain hold to a grounding to a crew mutiny without pausing for breath. This course trains you for that conversation the only way that works: out loud. Built for the modernised (MIN 720) syllabus that applies to every Chief Mate candidate from August 2026, it walks all three STCW management-level functions through real casualties — El Faro, the Wakashio, the capsizes that wrote the stability rules — and closes every chapter with worked oral questions: the examiner's question, the strong answer in full, and the reasoning behind it.

Listen your way through the syllabus — on watch, on the drive to the crew house, in the gym. Narrated in a clear British voice built for long-form listening, structured so every chapter stands alone.

Mapped to the modernised MCA Chief Mate/Master oral syllabus (STCW A-II/2, MIN 720 — current from August 2026). Written for the exam you'll actually sit, not the one your study notes were photocopied from.
