Ab special to 500 ton mate

I am new to the forums(signed up today). I am looking into upgrading to a 500 ton mates license. I would like any advice or help that anyone would be willing to give me. Thank…Robbie.

First thing is to use the search function. There is a crazy amount of info on here about this. Second is to take a prep course. Good luck.

www.uscg.mil/nmc Look for checklists and use the drops downs to find the appropriate requirements. Once approved, get lapware and study every chance you get. Good luck!
