Is Tankerman Assistant useful for MEBA engineers?

Is Tankerman Assistant useful for MEBA engineers? I don’t ever remember seeing a job at a hall or on the open board being for anything other than Tankerman Engineer or PIC. Trying to figure out whether it’s worth it to take the class. If it’s Tankerman Assistant doesn’t help at all, I might as well wait till I have my 90 tanker days and transfers before taking the class, in order to get PIC.

If you want to sail tankers at all, go for your PIC. Most companies only require senior engineering officers to have their PIC, but might as well go the whole way.
