DISTANCE LEARNING

COURSES FOR MCA CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCY

Note: It has been agreed that our Distance

Learning material satises STCW 95

requirements for an approved course of study.

These distance learning courses are devised to

satisfy demand from potential students of the

college, who for whatever reason are unable to

attend full time college based courses.

The advantages of this arrangement are:

Avoidance of travelling expenses to and from

college

Avoidance of accommodation expenses in the

college vicinity

Continuation of employment while studying

The students can progress at their own individual

pace

Note: This provision would also be of assistance

to candidates contemplating attempting Chief

Engineer academic subject examinations at

Second Engineer level.

The only disadvantage of the distance learning type

of education is the absence of a lecturer to solve

problems as they occur and motivate students

in the correct direction. In consequence of this,

a student taking a distance learning course must

be willing to apply himself/herself to the various

tasks given. It is our intention to set up an Intranet

Forum, to enable students to contact each other,

this will hopefully start when the Blackboard

courses are made available.

The number of subjects studied simultaneously

by a student is left to his / her own discretion and

consequently the distance learning fee is quoted

on a single subject basis and full course basis. It is

estimated that even the more able student will take

at least 3 weeks to study one subject.

The distance learning courses available are:
