« Live » since April 2012 and mandatory sine June 2012, this online course is broken down into four modules:

Commercial environment: Showing how you fit into the professional maritime world.

People: Explaining the importance of correct manning, keeping your skills up to date and the safe management of commercial vessels.

Vessel: Teaching about the compulsory carriage and maintenance of safety equipment and how to create and implement risk control and operating procedures.

Purpose: Making sure your vessel is suitable and legal for the work you are carrying out, your obligations in protecting the environment, appropriate planning and situational awareness.

Following the modules there is a mock assessment so you can check you are ready before moving on to the final graded online assessment.
