AB to Mate Program
Introduction
This program is designed for able seafarers that have 1080 days of sea service. It will provide all of the STCW-95 training requirements needed to attain an STCW95 Officer In Charge of a Navigation Watch (OICNW) and a USCG Third Mate Oceans or Near Coastal License. Optional courses are available to attain endorsements for Tankerman Person In Charge (TPIC), Medical Person In Charge (Med-PIC) and other endorsements for candidates with the requisite sea service. Completion of the program will provide students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to take on the duties and responsibilities of a Mate.
Our goal is to support mariners and provide a professional, relaxed atmosphere to assist in the completion of this demanding program. MITAGS-PMI strive to bring real shipboard experience and relevance to all of the courses. Advanced simulation technology is used in many of classes to complete assessments and develop professional skill sets. Additionally, the Institutes make use of experienced and talented instructors to help "bring the material alive".
