There are 4 exams associated with the course. Exam topics cover Rules of the Road, Chart Plotting, Navigation Aids, and Deck General and Safety.
Students must pass ALL of these USCG/NMC-approved exams in order to receive a completion diploma which is valid for 1 year to use in your MMC application.
