MARITIME PROFESSIONAL TRAINING (MPT) of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., now offers two courses for engineers, who want to make their Merchant Mariner Credential fully STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchstanding for Seafarers) compliant. The courses, called Officer in Charge of an Engineering Watch (OICEW) Auxiliary Machinery and OICEW Diesel Engine, include practical, hands-on training and assessment on its full-mission engine-room simulator. "Students also receive training in the on-campus machine shop, where they work a lathe, do welding, cut with a torch, and grow familiar with the inner workings of a modern diesel engine," said John Flanagan, MPT's vice principal.
