Description

This advanced preparatory course is designed to provide mariners with a basic knowledge of ships machinery and engineering, including electrical systems. In addition, the course includes an in-depth study of relevant acts, regulations, codes and orders. 

A preparatory course does not replace the official Transport Canada exams; rather, it supports your learning, helps you understand the required subject matter, and prepares you to meet Transport Canada’s standards and expectations.

Please note that the official certification examination must still be written directly with Transport Canada.
