Prepare for a life at
sea! This program will help you to find work on board commercial
vessels operating in areas up to coastal, as defined by the Uniform
Shipping Laws (USL) Code. This program builds on the Certificate I
program and provides you with the skills required to obtain a
Coxswain ticked.
Successful completion allows you to undertake oral examinations with
Maritime Safety Queensland for the issue of a Certificate of
Competency as a Coxswain under Queensland legislation. Coxswains can
take charge of commercial vessels less than 12 metres in length and
fishing vessels up to 15 metres in length in certain areas of
