The course includes skills training in instructing the ship’s crew on watch keeping, wheelhouse operations, environmental management, routine maintenance, keeping records and logbooks, communications and stability. This qualification enables you to work as a master or chief mate on vessels less than 500 gross tonnage in any operating area and as watchkeeper deck officer on vessels of any gross tonnage and in any operating area. With this diploma you are qualified to perform the duties or functions of any of the following: a master on ships less than 24 metres (foreign going); a chief mate on ships with less than 3000 gross tonnage (GT); a watchkeeper deck officer; and a watchkeeper deck officer on ships with less than 3000 gross tonnage (GT). Please note the Maritime calendar differs from the standard TAFE WA semester calendar. Semester dates are stated in your Letter of Offer. This course is a full-time program that is timetabled over 4 to 5 days per week.

The timetabled hours per week are essential to ensure all course requirements are met. Please also note that certain units may be conducted at an offsite fire ground and sea rescue facility.
