The MAR20424 Certificate II in Maritime Operations (Marine Engine Driver Grade 3 Near Coastal) is a nationally recognised qualification for people working in, or entering, maritime-engineering roles.
The qualification develops practical skills in marine internal-combustion engines, propulsion and auxiliary systems, engine-room duties, electrical systems, deck machinery, hull maintenance, environmental work practices, firefighting, survival at sea, workplace safety and first aid.
MAR20424 forms part of the pathway towards an Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Marine Engine Driver Grade 3 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency.
Students who successfully complete all 13 units of competency will receive the nationally recognised MAR20424 qualification and a Record of Results.
The MAR20424 qualification is not an AMSA Certificate of Competency. Applicants must separately satisfy AMSA's current age, English-language, medical, sea-service, first-aid, AMPA and application requirements.
Successful completion of MAR20424 forms part of the requirements for an AMSA Marine Engine Driver Grade 3 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency.
Once issued by AMSA, the certificate permits the holder to perform specified engineering duties within the propulsion-power limits prescribed by Marine Order 505.

The MED3 AMPA is the final practical assessment required for a new Marine Engine Driver Grade 3 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency.
The AMPA is separate from achievement of the MAR20424 qualification. A student may complete the qualification without completing the AMPA.
| Completion and validity
The AMPA must be completed within 12 months of the first assessed AMPA task. Once completed, the signed AMPA cover page is valid for 12 months for the AMSA application. |
AMPA fee
The MED3 AMPA fee is $500.00. Where the AMPA is required for the student's AMSA pathway, the fee must be paid at enrolment. |
After completing the qualification, students must separately meet AMSA's current requirements before a Marine Engine Driver Grade 3 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency can be issued.
| 1 | Meet personal eligibility requirements Be at least 16 years old on the certificate issue date, have sufficient English-language ability and meet the applicable medical-fitness requirements (AMSA Form 1850). |
