Hello Darien the website is : www.fredsoralprep.com/courses/nav-radar-a

My bouyage set is sadly not for sale. However, I do recommend Capt Wardie's amazing models for learning at www.wavesandmeans.co.uk

Sorry for your eyes, but hopefully, when it comes up in the exam, it will be the question that helps you pass. Cheers for the feedback. Fred

@@FredsOralPrep you are priceless captain Fred! Thank you so much 🙏

Yes, it's designed for the MCA System. However, any Flag state exam that is STCW will have the same Syllabus.

Hello Gordon, send me an email at [email protected] with your best contact number and will give you a call.

Ahh thanks all the same but I have since found a data sheet with all the answers on it - seems they are both sun filters one probably polaroid the other a red colour...I dont intend to use it just a collectors item made by Lillie and Gilley.@@FredsOralPrep

All the orals are currently online, they are not doing Face exams currently. MIn 690 is the current information for the part A exam and then the Part B required for the OOW unlimited

Yes, the webinars are for all levels as it is for the core topics, Rules, Bouyage and Lights etc

Hello Azhar, you can join my online course via my website at www.fredsoralprep.com Hope to see you online soon Fred

Its very hard currently, all you can do is keep checking

Hello, not a problem send me an email at [email protected] and will do my best to help

Hello, you can subscribe to my online course from my website www.fredsoralprep.com

Good to hear from you. My course will help you pass the OOW unlimited to answer your question. However, I come from a yachting background, so I talk about yachts, not tankers. As a result, my course is based on the OOW yacht syllabus found in MSN 1858 Annex B I cover this syllabus and not the OOW unlimited course, however, the OOW unlimited is the same syllabus the only difference is Cargo as defined in your syllabus found in MIN 653 The items my course does not cover is: Transmit and receive information by visual signalling Page 15 Cargo handling and stowage at the operational level Page 16 Monitor the loading, stowage, securing care during the voyage and the unloading of cargoes Page 16 IMDG CODE Page 16 Inspect and report defects and damage to cargo spaces, hatch covers and ballast tanks Page 17 However, these are items you can cover with 20 mins of personal study; I have helped several OOW unlimited crew in the past few weeks with no issues other than my teaching style is not normal, I am a yachty, and as such, I swear and tell you to fuck off if you make a mistake in my webinars etc. I want you to pass so I help you make sure you know the key bits to make sure you pass. Have a look at the two syllabi and compare them, and then when you are ready to sign up you won't regret it.

Hello, the chief mate unlimited is the same syllabus as the Master 3000 yacht so yes. It's in effect the same exam.

Hello Ashi, you may be able to get an extension due to covid if you can prove that it's stopped you sitting, however, MSN 1856 states: "NOEs are valid for 5 years from the date of issue. The date of issue will be stamped on your NOE. Once this period has elapsed8 you must make a new application with the supporting documentation and the appropriate fee." So I would be surprised if they extended it, to be honest. Good luck Fred

So you have a vessel abeam or abaft your beam that has a risk of collision. You avoid turning towards the vessel so in this case, you would turn to S/B. Hope that makes sense

Glad to help

Hello Eric, Thanks for the above, it does not seem like an MCA oral exam question. They tend to want to allow you to show an understanding not trick you. Fred

I dont think so best to email the MCA..

@@FredsOralPrep Lovely... 🤦🏻 Thank you for your answer Sir.

Hello, great question I have no idea what the correct answer would be in an Oral exam, however, the odds of an examiner asking this is very low. There is no correct answer as the rules don't state hence as an examiner it would be hard to say if you are correct or wrong. Hence in an exam, it's unlikely to be asked. Fred

@@FredsOralPrep I cannot agree with you more. You are correct, there is no correct answer for this. And i believe this could be a question being used to fail a candidate if the examiner wanted to. Thank you Sir ~

Hello Ali, the fee for my mock exams currently is £80 per hour, however, I specialize in the yacht industry, I worked on yachts and hold a Yacht CoC. Hence teach mostly to yacht crew.

Hello Rere, no the Chief mate unlimited needs an oral exam. MSN 1856 shows the steps for the unlimited route.

Hello Puneet, I am sorry but my advice would be to contact the MCA and explain what happened. Hopefully they can refund you or transfer the payment to the correct CoC, The email address is: [email protected]
