About the Course

This course is for Yacht MCA OOW 3000gt. The syllabus is common across all oral exams, so it will also benefit the OOW Unlimited.

The course provides comprehensive OOW preparation with flexible study options to fit your pace and schedule. It covers the entire syllabus in detail.

This all-inclusive package helps you protect yourself against embarrassing & expensive exam re-sits or be used for additional preparation alongside another course.

⚠️ NOTE

Please be advised, this is the toughest OOW course around.

This is NOT some easy-peasy course that might get you a pass. This is THE OOW course. Not only will it make you pass the exam, but you’ll also become a confident OOW. It has a HUGE amount of information/content, so besides being committed, you will need to be somewhere quiet and have high-speed internet. You’ve been warned!

Take a Peek Inside

Peek inside the OOW Large Yacht Code:

Peek inside the OOW’s Buoyage, Flags and Morse:

  • “Why do I need this  course?”

    ✓ It’s the only complete OOW oral prep course on the market.

    ✓ I care, –I know how this ticket will change your life.

    ✓ I talk the same language.

    ✓ Blended learning: not everyone learns the same way.

    ✓ It’s continually updated; when there’s a new tricky exam question or MGN, I add it.

    ✓ You have access to me - I answer my emails/chat with you at the webinars.

    ✓ You still have access to me – I answer my emails/chat with you at the webinars.

    ✓ Custom Web App – not some boring & restrictive platform or PowerPoint presentation.

    ✓ I only teach what you need to know: I cut through the bullshit.

    ✓ My spelling/maths is shit. That’s not a positive, but it proves if I can do it –you can too.

    ✓ And if you fail (unfortunately it does happen sometimes) we will still support you and give you a free 1-month subscription.

  • “Where do I begin?”

    1. Grab our “What to study” list to start getting organised and focused.

    2. Get your study area ready; you’ll need a quiet room, flashcards, a million highlighters, etc.

    3. Subscribe to Fred’s Online Oral Prep Course and choose the subscription length which suits you.

    4. Receive a personal email from Fred within 48 hrs of signing up, to create a plan of success.

    5. Start coming along to the weekly webinars. Need access to Fred (me); this is how to register.

    6. After you have watched the LSA video, I help you obtain my most recent past papers and how to do a risk assessment based on these papers.

    7. Sit your exam. PASS. Then celebrate! You’re finally an OOW. 🍻
