MCA clarifies confusion regarding HELM courses

21 Nov 2013 by Lisa Morley

Due to recent communication we have received from seafarers, we (MCA) would like to clarify the following.

Seafarers completing a Chief Mate (Y) <3000gt Unlimited with Officer of the Watch (Y) <3000gt Unlimited must complete both HELM Management and HELM Operational.

 

For those who completed and met the qualifying conditions for Officer of the Watch (Y) <3000gt Unlimited before 31 August 2012 do not have to undertake HELM Operational. Therefore if now completing Chief Mate (Y) <3000 Unlimited will only have to complete HELM Management.
