[QUOTE=Ea$y Money;42868]I do believe you would still need to attend a lifeboatman and marlinspike seamanship as I don’t think those are offered at the testing centers. The lifeboatman is optional, but the marlinspike is necessary for the AB rating. Anyone know for sure?[/QUOTE]
The [B][U]practical[/U][/B] tests for lifeboatman and marlinspike seamanship are not given at the RE$Cs. As they are practical, e.g. you have to demonstrate ability to do something like tie a knot or lower a lifeboat, they cannot be done on-line.
