Nautical licence to become compulsory for engines from 30HP up

[robby017]

not neccesarily..... if you have the Yachtmaster, you might be exempt from the course and the exam..... BUT THIS IS JUST MY ASSUMPTION.

Chrisxue just visit malta for 5 days to do the course and come back.....that's what im gonna do.  In Gozo they usually do the course from Friday to Monday and the exam on tuesday.

[chrisxue]

i can only stay in malta 3 weeks and im planning to come after santa marija so i dont know if there will be any courses going on at that time

[caldaland]

does anybody know if the answering pennants (the reapeaters)are included in this course?

[rodfar]

no the answer pennants ar not necessary. only the alphabet and the most important are: A B D G H O U V W.
if someone has any questions just text me, its better now cause im still fresh from the exams heheh

[caldaland]

Relax guys the course is fun, sure u have to study, but its very i repeat VERY interesting and if u focus you have no problem in passing, remember its for you and those arournd you in the water and its for your safety, no other course is accepted instead of it , my friend a captain on gozo channel had to do the course and test  ( he passed )   the only person who did not pass was a guy who kept saying that he would not pass and when he came for the test he got tounge tied. and he got another chance on another day so believe me, you are going to come out of there smiling and saying why did i not do this course before, MONEY WELL SPENT

Hi - this is my first post - just picked up the thread about licence for over 30 hp engines. I seem to be a bit late according to some of posts already here. Will these courses be all through the year? i'll be back to UK shortly for a few weeks and not back till mid April so wondering if i'll be able to take the course. Will they be in English?
All advice will be welcome - thanks

If you would like to attend a course in English I suggest you send in your registration with MCAST asap and indicate English. They only run courses in English when there are sufficient numbers....so best to get your name down.

Welcome to the forum

I applied to Mcast for my licence, but got fed up of waiting for an english course.
The guy on the next berth to me, a maltese guy, told me about the RYA course, he said that he had done both, the Mcast course and the RYA course, he said he learnt far more on the short RYA course, than he did on the Mcast course.
I believe the Mcast course is split into about 1 weeks course, the RYA course was over two days, the RYA course is around €100 more than the Mcast course.
The ticket you get on the Mcast course is only good for Maltese waters.
The ticket you get on the RYA course is valid anywhere in Europe.

Mcast is a either a one week course or if you want 3 consecutive days course which costs €130.
