THE COURSE CAN TAKE PLACE IN TWO FORMATS – YOU CHOOSE WHICH ONE

Hybrid format

Step one:
After creating an account in our system and selecting the training, each candidate must complete the documents required by Ocean Angels in the system,

Step two: Each candidate must participate in a series of three 2-hour online meetings with an OAC instructor. The meetings take place via widely available video conferencing applications. If the participant does not have such an application, the meeting is conducted using the system provided by OAC.

Step three: E-learning training must be completed after the online meetings with the OAC instructor. This stage is mandatory for each candidate and is a form of theoretical self-education that does not take place in a traditional classroom.

Step four: At the final stage of theoretical training, the participant must complete a test verifying the knowledge obtained in the previous steps. Passing the test allows the participant to register for in-person training, which depending on the selected service lasts from 5 hours to 16 hours (one to two days – depending on the number of participants and their preparation after the online e-learning training).

Step five: Completion of the in-person training authorizes the candidate, depending on the licenses*/certificates they are applying for, to take the exam**. Exams take place on the day the in-person training ends or on the following day after the course***.

Step six: Depending on the organization and the qualifications selected by the participant, the final step is submitting an application for the document or waiting for the document authorizing yacht operation or confirming the acquired knowledge and skills.

In-person format

Step one: After creating an account in our system and selecting the training, each candidate must complete the documents required by Ocean Angels in the system,

Step two: Each candidate should participate in a 30-minute online meeting with an OAC instructor. The meeting is conducted through commonly available video conferencing applications. If the participant does not have such an application, the meeting will take place using the system provided by OAC. The purpose of the meeting is to provide basic training materials and prepare the participant for the full in-person training.

Step three: Each candidate must participate in a 24-hour in-person training divided into two modules: theoretical and practical. The training takes place in various locations within European Union countries at facilities designated by OAC.

Step four: Full participation in the in-person training authorizes the candidate to take the exam** depending on the license or certificate they are applying for. Exams are conducted on the day the in-person training ends or on the following day***.

Step five: Depending on the organization and qualifications selected by the participant, the final step is submitting an application for the document or waiting for the document confirming acquired knowledge and qualifications.
