I would strongly suggest, that, if you want First Class, you do the Exams now. There will be two levels of Exams, in STCW 2010, Operational and Management. I strongly suspect (and I have advocated for) "Operational" to be 3rd Class level and "Management" to be 1st Class level. Once the new MPRs are in force, late fall 2018, the ONLY way to advance is by block credit at an approved school. There will be no more TC Exams. Block credit courses will be run (for several thousand dollars) when a school has enough students to cover the cost of the course. Guess how often THAT will be!

Will this be at provincially funded schools?

If so, TC has just about successfully killed the marine industry in this country. It may not be right away but it will be of attrition.

(Referring specifically to Chief level)
Block courses for every area of required knowledge.
Individual block course for each (Or is that yet to be determined?):
a. Engineering Knowledge;
b. Ship Construction, Stability and Propulsion;
c. Electro-technology and Automation;
d. Applied Mechanics;
e. Applied Thermodynamics; and
f. Maritime Law and Ship’s Business.

I did the 4 year program, we learned all those things...that's a lot of information to be packed into a presumably short-ish block course.
I might be able to see like 2 weeks of 8 hour days of intensive learning (per subject), and you better have a pretty keen mind and still be fluent with a calculator and manipulating formula.

It seems to me, JK, that this is the intention. CETA will be in force very soon and EU flags all have "second registries", in which all the crews are third world, $10 a day types.

I have just been accepted to Georgian college marine technician course starting in fall. it's a 2 year program and I will be graduating as a 4th engineer. From the little research I have done, this new licensing requirements seems to be better than the old requirements, it seems it's easier to move up the ranks now especially if you attend the 4 year course, since there won't be any need for you to sit for any additional TC exam each time you want to move up the rank, all the course you require to move up the rank (operational and management courses) would have been covered in the program. After graduation all you need to do is to build up your sea time and progress.

The Georgian college course however is at the operational level, additional courses at the management level will need to be taken to become second/chief. The reason why I am choosing the 2 year course is because I get to start working earlier, I am 37 years old and have a family hence it is important I get this done and start working asap.
