Direct Examination - First Class
Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2021 1:45 am
hello colleagues,
What a trip it is to apply for direct examination and specifically first class. After a long journey of proving qualifying seatime without testimonials ( we never required it for upgrading CoC's), refreshing certificates which expired in the meantime and a couple of explanations on what dynamic positioning is. I have finally received the approval to write my general engineering knowledge, motor knowledge and do my oral for first class. Obviously the PPS2 course is required aswell but I'm not so nervous about that course. Judging by the answers of the topic on second class exams I take it that the current posted exam questions on the library for first class are still valid aswell? I have purchased reeds general engineering knowledge and motor knowledge books, what are the odds of getting some mathematical nightmare questions for the exams?
Also whats the reasoning of needing to have a valid TC medical to write an exam or do an oral?
Oh btw on a sidenote, Martin.. I loved your article about the dutch runner, I worked in the office after it came to Canada. I could write a book about that place.
