Advanced Exam Prep Course & Exam

This is a bespoke prep course, specifically tailored to candidates completing the Advanced Certificate of Competence Exam. Subjects which can be refreshed include IRPCS, pilotage, boat handling, night navigation, etc.

This is a NON-CERTIFIED course, so other subjects can be added.

There will be a night exercise on Day 1 and another on Day 2 can be arranged (at extra cost).

We run our Advanced Courses and Advanced Exam Prep courses to run back to back which essentially gives you an intensive 4 day prep course before the exam on day 5.
