This course is a review of the types of questions and problems that will be on the USCG exams. This course is led by an Instructor who will review what is on the test and how to be completely prepared for success on the exam. With your instructor and a total of 10 class days - this 2 week course will review the subjects on the examinations. While there are no prerequisites, ideally - course #225 should not be undertaken until the candidate has completed all/most required training courses for the raise in grade and are preparing to take the written examinations shortly thereafter.
Candidates wishing to test shortly after the course should apply to the USCG in advance and receive their ATT (approval to test) letter from the National Maritime Center and call to set up testing dates at the REC. The closest REC to MPT is in Miami but you can test at any USCG REC once approved.
You may be subject to additional exam modules such as:
- Navigation Problems: Chart Plot
- Navigation Problems: Near Coastal
- Deck Safety: Stability Problems
If you would like MPT to assist you with examination prep for those additional modules, please see Student Services about enrolling in MPT’s Terrestrial & Coastal Navigation and/or Stability & Ship's Construction course, respectively.
