This is the only certificate available in Australia that is recognised worldwide as a commercial ticket and is mandatory for work on super yachts. This certification allows you to work as Captain/Master on private vessels, commercial vessels and super yachts up to 24 metres. Over 24 meters and less than 200gt as Master up to 150nm from safe haven, beyond 150 miles from safe haven you are able to work as Chief Mate. Note that all Masters and Crew must have the STCW95 short courses to secure work on vessels greater than 24 metres. We do not teach the STCW95 courses. For information on STCW95 courses, please contact Gerry Fitzgerald at Offshore Maritime Training Centre in Brisbane, Queensland on 0428 749 166. Or call the Australian Maritime College in Launceston, Tasmania on 03 6335 4711.
