Training, certificates of competency and watchkeeping
Which certificate applies to what, how it is recognised, and what watchkeeping requires
A certificate of competency is not valid everywhere, and an endorsement is not a formality but the condition for serving on board. The course works through certificates, recognition, minimum rest hours and familiarisation the way a port state control officer checks them.
