When a candidate’s application has been approved, a ‘Notice of Eligibility’ will be issued and forwarded to the candidate by post. The ‘Notice of Eligibility’ will specify which examination subjects have been exempted or previously passed, and will authorise admission of a candidate to the remaining written and oral parts of the examination as appropriate. This ‘Notice of Eligibility’ will be required by the College where Engineering Knowledge written examinations are to be taken and by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency Examiner conducting the oral examination. Individual subjects, SQA Certificates will be issued to candidates who are successful in the written examinations at Chief Engineer and Second Engineer level and by the International Association of Maritime Institutions (IAMI) at OOW level. The results of the oral examinations will be entered on the ‘Notice of Eligibility’ by the MCA Examiner. When all sections of the examination have been passed and when the SQA / IAMI Certificates for the written papers have been received, they should be forwarded together with the complete Notice of Eligibility to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency in Southampton. Intending students are advised to make sure that they are qualified to sit the examinations before attending College. This is especially true for overseas students. The qualifications necessary to enter the MCA examinations are given on page 8 but must be taken as a guide only. Decisions regarding entry to the examinations can only be made by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency in Southampton. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency no longer give exemptions from any of the written examinations on the basis of qualifications gained abroad nor on individual subject passes obtained overseas via Certificates of Competency examinations set by other national administrations.
