NAU 410 - License Seminar

Class Hours: 1, Units: 2
Prerequisite(s): Senior Class Standing, with graduation scheduled within the next six months. (License exam results expire one year after test date, and no license will be issued prior to a student’s meeting all graduation requirements.)
Co-requisite(s): NAU 410L
This comprehensive course is designed to prepare candidates for the USCG OICNW exams. Unlike any other course, it requires the candidate to synthesize and apply myriad professional subjects learned in previous subject-specific courses, and perform with both 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 protection, 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.
