[QUOTE=Ctony;148896]Are we talking about an AB wanting to get an AB job, or an AB with plans/aspirations of being a deck officer? I ask because GMDSS, ECDIS, Radar and DP don’t especially pertain to working as an AB.[/QUOTE]
Great question. It would be the second one. An AB that’s looking for an entry level job but that is motivated and willing to put in the work to become a master, etc. I guess the question should be split in two. Which courses/quals does an entry level AB need JUST to FIND a job? And then once working, which courses should they focus on next.
