STCW - New Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

I read most of this today. If 12" of text listing all the topics for Chief Mate schools adds up to ten weeks of training, how many weeks of training will the 36" of text listing all the 1a/e training equate (on page 59409)?

How long will take for a policy similar to 04-02 comes out that lists all the classes? Then we have to wait for courses to get approved and be offered, and companies have to budget for this much training well in advance. I hope this doesn’t become a mess like it was with Chief Mates eight years ago.
