The MAR30824 Certificate III in Maritime Operations (Marine Engine Driver Grade 2 Near Coastal) is a nationally recognised qualification for people working in maritime-engineering roles and seeking the training component required for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Marine Engine Driver Grade 2 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency.
The qualification develops practical skills in marine internal-combustion engines, propulsion plant, auxiliary systems, electrical systems, fuel systems, engine-room operations, deck machinery, hull maintenance, environmental work practices, firefighting, survival at sea, workplace safety and first aid.
To achieve MAR30824, the student must be assessed as competent in all 17 core units of competency. There are no elective units.
Completing MAR30824 does not itself issue an AMSA Marine Engine Driver Grade 2 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency. The qualification is one component of the AMSA certification pathway. Separate age, English-language, medical, sea-service, first-aid, AMSA Mandated Practical Assessment (AMPA) and application requirements apply.
Successful completion of MAR30824 forms part of the requirements for an AMSA Marine Engine Driver Grade 2 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.
