Blended Delivery Option
We are offering students the option of completing a preparatory distance learning programme using a mixture of print based and on line delivery material before attending a greatly shortened classroom and simulator based course to prepare for the examinations.
The entire distance learning programme must be completed prior to beginning the attendance course. This option will not suit all students.
You will need to have a reasonably good academic ability and access to the internet to get full value from this option. You will also require a high level of self discipline. Please contact us if you think this option may suit you.

NZ Offshore Watchkeeper Ancillary courses are NOT included in this two week module. Pending final approval from MNZ |
