Hey guys,  
I’m currently an OS but I’m in the process of getting an AB OSV ticket. I’m having a little trouble finding the requirements. Besides the AB class and RFPNW what else do I need?

Thanks.

You will need a Lifeboatman or Lifeboatman Limited course. Usually refered to as Proficiency in Survival Craft course.
