The MAR30924 Certificate III in Maritime Operations, with the Master up to 24 metres Near Coastal specialisation, is a nationally recognised qualification for people working in the maritime industry who are seeking the training component required for an Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Master less than 24 metres Near Coastal Certificate of Competency.
The qualification develops capability in vessel command and manoeuvring, passage planning, navigation and watchkeeping, seamanship, routine vessel maintenance, maritime regulation, environmental management, workplace relationships, firefighting, survival at sea and first aid.
To achieve the Master up to 24 metres Near Coastal specialisation, the trainee must be assessed as competent in all 15 required units of competency: 12 core units and all 3 Group A specialist elective units.
Completing MAR30924 does not itself issue an AMSA Master less than 24 metres Near Coastal Certificate of Competency. Separate age, English-language, medical, sea-service, first-aid, marine-radio, AMSA Mandated Practical Assessment (AMPA) and application requirements apply.
Once the separate AMSA Certificate of Competency has been issued, a Master less than 24 metres Near Coastal certificate holder may perform the duties and functions prescribed by Marine Order 505 and described by AMSA.

The Master less than 24 metres Near Coastal certificate is a low-complexity Certificate of Competency. Its final assessment is an AMSA Mandated Practical Assessment (AMPA) conducted by an AMSA-approved RTO and final assessor.
| AMPA Timing and Validity
The AMPA may be completed progressively during practical assessment or at another permitted time. It must be completed within 12 months from the first assessed AMPA task. Once completed, the AMPA is valid for 12 months from the date the assessor signs the AMPA cover page. If the applicant does not apply to AMSA before it expires, a new AMPA is required. |
Interim Certificate of Competency
After applying to AMSA and paying the applicable AMSA application fee, an eligible applicant may ask an approved RTO to consider issuing an Interim Certificate of Competency. An ICoC may allow the applicant to commence the applicable duties for up to 60 days while AMSA assesses the application. Issue is at the RTO's discretion and subject to the current AMSA evidence requirements. |
The applicant must first lodge the Certificate of Competency application with AMSA and provide the required evidence of the application and payment before an approved RTO can consider issuing the interim certificate.
| Credit Transfer
Credit Transfer may be available where valid AQF certification documentation or an authenticated USI transcript demonstrates successful completion of an identical or officially equivalent unit. PTG will confirm the effect on the training plan and fee after reviewing the evidence. |
Recognition of Prior Learning
RPL may be considered where sufficient, valid, authentic and current evidence demonstrates all requirements of the relevant unit or units. RPL is an assessment process and is not automatically granted solely because a person has maritime experience or holds a regulatory certificate. |
Credit Transfer or RPL within MAR30924 does not remove AMSA's separate sea-service, medical, first-aid, radio, AMPA or application requirements unless AMSA expressly provides otherwise.
