Questions about Engine and Electro-technical

Which certificate you need, how long it lasts and where to take it.

Ask a training advisor

You need 6 months of certified engine-room sea service to sit the Wiper examination. Sea service on a private yacht does not count.

You need a valid Rating Forming Part of an Engine-Room Watch certificate (D7), a valid Basic Safety Training certificate (D2), 6 months of certified engine-room sea service as a wiper, a certificate of completion for the Marine Environment Protection course, and a valid medical fitness certificate. You then complete the course and sit the examination at the Harbour Master’s Office.

With 12 months of certified engine-room sea service as a wiper and all other documents, you can go straight to the examination without the course.

No. The diploma doesn’t replace the certificate, but you can go straight to the examination if you meet all the other requirements.
