This comprehensive course is designed to prepare candidates for the USCG OICNW exams. Unlike any other course, it requires candidates to synthesize and apply myriad professional subjects learned in previous subject-specific courses, and perform both with precision and accuracy under time pressure. New topics and material pertinent only to USCG testing will be covered, advanced material will be reviewed in the context of USCG requirements (which differ from practical requirements), and theories and methods of knowledge retention and test-taking strategies will be explored. Rules of the Road, navigation, seamanship, deck safety, environmental protections, cargo, watchstanding and other professional subjects are covered as they pertain specifically to USCG licensing. Course subject matter and strategy necessarily change as the USCG exams continually evolve.
