Quality Maritime Training

[QUOTE=TxMariner;81944]As I understand it (which may be incorrect), I needed to take all of these courses to eventually obtain my 500 ton mate NC. I’m currently an AB unlimited w/ RFPNW trying to go to the wheelhouse (on tugs).
I need/want all the training I can obtain. If you know of a better route, I’m all ears. Thx[/QUOTE]

Go to the NMC site and get the checklist for Mate 500 NC and it will tell you exactly what you need.
