Requested Mate 500T but my wording on the app

I requested to test for mate 500T NC. I did not say anything about stcw as i don’t have all the classes yet but want to get the test out of the way. I have all unlimited time and will get my 1080 on June 12th

I summitted the app about 4 weeks ago. I am trying to find a list of classes i need to take. I think i need flashing lights and SAR. I can only find info on the STCW side.

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-46/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-11/subpart-D/section-11.421

Does not list any class requirements but this is all i could find. They say its 90 days to run it up the chain so i might be able to do those before shit even gets to them

Edit.

I think i found it in the checklist on the second page. Its late and i just got of watch.

But i will ask this . HOS does not say anything on my sea letter about watch keeping duties so i wonder how that is going to go

You need a hell of a lot more than that. See NVIC 12-14.

I have that pdf already. I am not going for stcw

Just normal mate 500t. Which I know is completely worthless in the industry right now but I just want to take the exam and do the classes later that’s what I can’t find in the CFR. what the requirements would be for just normal non-STCW mate 500.
