Product Description

This comprehensive study guide is designed to help you prepare for the Chief Mate and Master Unlimited Certificates of Competency. It provides a structured framework for exam preparation aligned with the syllabus, covering key topics, Codes and Conventions and practical aides and resources for effective self-study.

This publication has been meticulously developed to support maritime professionals preparing for the Chief Mate and Master Mariner (Unlimited) Certificates of Competency. Compiled by Captain Iain Macneil throughout his own orals preparation between 2023 and 2024, this guide consolidates essential regulatory knowledge, critical subject matter and practical insights into a single, structured resource.

Designed as a comprehensive study aid, the guide covers the full syllabus, including ship certification, and statutory Codes and Conventions, with emphasis on those involving human element considerations such as the ISM Code, ISPS Code and the Maritime Labour Convention. It also addresses the professional standards expected of a Master. The guide includes revision frameworks, examination techniques, equipment checklists, M-notices and self-assessment materials. Chapter Five contains the complete course syllabus as delivered by OceanWise Training. Additional resources include topic-specific study notes, question-and-answer sheets, single-subject summaries and perforated worksheets, supporting a broad range of operational and regulatory topics.

While not a replacement for formal instruction, this resource is intended to reduce inefficiencies in self-directed study and to provide a logical and structured approach to oral exam preparation. It is a valuable tool for any officer aiming to achieve success at the Chief Mate or Master Unlimited level.
