DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES FOR MCA CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCY Second Engineer < 3000 kw MCA Certificate of Competency Second Engineer MCA Certificate of Competency Chief Engineer MCA Certificate of Competency Note: It has been agreed that our Distance Learning material satisfies STCW 95 requirements for an approved course of study. These distance learning courses are devised to satisfy demand from potential students of the college, who for whatever reason are unable to attend full time college based courses. The advantages of this arrangement are: Avoidance of travelling expenses to and from college Avoidance of accommodation expenses in the college vicinity Continuation of employment while studying The students can progress at their own individual pace Note: This provision would also be of assistance to candidates contemplating attempting Chief Engineer academic subject examinations at Second Engineer level. The only disadvantage of the distance learning type of education is the absence of a lecturer to solve problems as they occur and motivate students in the correct direction. In consequence of this, a student taking a distance learning course must be willing to apply himself/herself to the various tasks given. It is our intention to set up an Intranet Forum, to enable students to contact each other, this will hopefully start when the Blackboard courses are made available. The number of subjects studied simultaneously by a student is left to his / her own discretion and consequently the distance learning fee is quoted on a single subject basis and full course basis. It is estimated that even the more able student will take at least 3 weeks to study one subject. The distance learning courses available are: Second Engineer <3000 kw MCA Certificate of Competency (also known as Class 3) Second Engineer MCA Certificate of Competency Chief Engineer MCA Certificate of Competency (Academic subjects only) The subject packages available within the above Distance Learning course are as follows: General Engineering Science I (Maths & Mechanics) General Engineering Science II The subjects available within the Class 2 Distance Learning course are as follows: - Part A Subjects Mathematics Applied Mechanics The subjects available within the Class 1 Distance Learning course are as follows: - Part A Subjects Applied Heat Applied Mechanics (Heat & Electrotechnology) Applied Heat Part B Subjects Engineering Knowledge I Engineering Drawing Electrotechnology Engineering Knowledge II Part B Subjects Naval Architecture Naval Architecture Electrotechnology Engineering Knowledge General / Motor / Steam We have found the Engineering Knowledge packages to be very popular with those sea going marine engineers who have exemptions from the academic subjects of the Certificate of Competency examinations. 16 17
