This page outlines the requirements for a UK Certificate of Competency application, after a successful oral examination. These requirements apply to all UK Certificate of Competency applicants.
Updated to reflect section 4.5 of MIN 643 (for a first UK CoC, we accept AFF, PSCRB and MFA certificates issued under the authority of the MCA or EU/EEA Member State).
This page now references the amended Marine Notices and new routes.
Advice on the CoC requirements for Deck Officers has been temporarily removed.
