Bridging the Gap: From Syllabus to Sea.

Passing the MCA Oral Exam is not just about knowing the regulations. It is about proving you can command a crew. We teach the professional mindset that examiners are looking for.

  • We don't just teach you the rules; we teach you how to apply them. Instead of rote learning, our Senior Officers present you with real-world scenarios—from complex collision avoidance to engine room emergencies. We bridge the gap between "textbook perfect" and commercial reality, ensuring you understand the intent behind the regulation.

    The Goal: Don't just memorize the book. Learn to command the situation.

  • Stop wasting time on topics you already know. Every programme starts by identifying your specific knowledge gaps. Whether you are an Unlimited candidate struggling with Law, or a Small Vessel officer needing stability support, we build a roadmap that targets your weak points immediately.

    The Strategy: Find your weak spots before the examiner does.

  • Our tutors are active seafarers who understand current MCA examination trends. We move beyond standard answers to explain why an examiner asks a specific question. We teach you to structure your answers with the precision and authority of a Senior Officer, removing the "waffle" that leads to failure.

    The Result: Walk into your exam ready to speak with authority.

  • Built for the working seafarer.

How to Start Your Programme

We believe in a personal approach from day one. Because we know ship life is unpredictable, we don't use rigid automated booking systems. Instead, you will speak directly to a member of our team to arrange sessions that fit your specific roster, time zone, and exam date.

  • We don't force you into a rigid automated calendar. Simply reach out via WhatsApp or Email. Tell us your rank, target exam date, and time zone, and you will speak directly to a member of the team—not a bot.

  • We know the maritime reality: watches change, and internet drops. We arrange sessions personally to fit your specific roster. Whether you are at home on leave or finding an hour between watches at sea, we make it work.

  • Your first session is about calibration. We review your NOE and assess your current knowledge level. You leave this session with a clear, actionable study plan tailored to your exam date.

  • We understand life at sea. If you are called for a drill, cargo ops, or an emergency, we are flexible. We just ask for as much notice as possible so we can reschedule you. You won't be penalised for doing your job.

  • Video is preferred for diagrams, but we can switch to audio-only if your ship's VSAT is struggling. We are used to working with low-bandwidth connections.

  • Yes. Alongside the tuition, you gain access to our online library of useful videos, and tutor feedback notes to support your self-study between sessions on request.

  • We operate on a flexible "Pay-as-you-go" basis. While we do recommend a structured “block” plan, you are free to book single sessions as required. You are in control of the pace and the budget.

  • You will be paired with a Senior Officer relevant to your discipline. Our tutors are active seafarers with Unlimited licenses, meaning their knowledge of the industry and exam trends is current.

  • It is never too late to sharpen your answers. For last-minute candidates, we switch to "Mock Exam Mode"—a high-intensity pressure test to identify and fix critical errors before you sit in front of the MCA examiner.
