PIC as AB

Is there a course that an AB must take to get his PIC or is it simply just loads and discharges? And does SIU require anything in addition to the coastguard requirements?

See 46 CFR 13.201 et seq.

So as far as my question goes, is there any courses associated with it or SIU?

Did you read the cite I gave you? The answer is there. What part of “ completion of an approved course…” do you find confusing?

Alas, he does not meet the requirements for subpart (d)
