New Zealand Certificate in Maritime Operations - Watchkeeper Deck 500GT Near Coastal (Level 4)

This programme contributes to graduates obtaining their Maritime New Zealand licence: Watchkeeper Deck 500t Near Coastal.
The MNZ licence for Watchkeeper Deck 500t Near Coastal licences enable you to work on a vessel operating within the coastal and offshore limits (currently up to 200 nautical miles off the NZ coast).
These strands also include all the short courses you require to gain your licence, such as all the STCW basic and advanced short courses, and Radio certificates.
The Watchkeeper Deck 500t Near Coast Strand is for people working on commercial vessels (non-fishing) and who want to progress to being a watchkeeper on near-coastal vessels (non-fishing) operating within the coastal and offshore limits (currently up to 200 nautical miles off the NZ coast).
The programme will give you the skills you need to demonstrate safe watchkeeping practices on a commercial vessel during navigation, deck cargo planning, loading and discharging operations and emergency situations whilst maintaining vessel safety and compliance.
If you have some skills or experience gained from working on commercial vessels as a deckhand, then this programme is for you.
