This is a combined course made up of the 9 modules for the (EOW) Engineering Officer of the Watch Unlimited qualification:

Hydraulic systems play a significant role in the operation of any vessel. This course provides an overview of the fundamentals and setup of hydraulic systems, elucidating their integration with other onboard systems. Troubleshooting and maintenance are crucial aspects covered in this course.

The Pneumatic and Hydraulic course is seamlessly integrated and offered as a continuous program. While hydraulics operate with fluids, pneumatic systems utilize compressed air, serving as an equally vital system in vessels’ operations. This course delivers an overview of the basics and configuration of pneumatic systems, highlighting their integration with other onboard systems. Troubleshooting and maintenance are essential components addressed within this course.

In our Diesel 1&2 workshop, there are a variety of different engine brands along with an abundance of equipment and parts. Throughout this class, students will move between stations, acquiring skills in maintenance, disassembly, servicing, fault diagnosis, and proper assembly of the different components of Diesel Engines.

In Welding, every participant is assigned their own practice station, where the instructor personally teaches Arc Welding, Brazing, Gas Cutting, Grinding, and other forms of hot work necessary for executing emergency repairs aboard the vessel.

The Sheet Metal and Pipe classroom provides learners with comprehensive guidance to understand and construct various forms of ducting from sheet metal and pipe configurations, essential for typical onboard requirements. Our facilitators will impart trade secrets to assist you in crafting necessary structures using sheet metal and pipes.

This course thoroughly explores the fundamentals of different refrigeration systems, including refrigerants and system components. Refrigeration systems are essential for ships, not just for preserving food but also for maintaining the integrity of transported cargo. By taking this course, engineers will gain extensive knowledge of refrigeration systems and learn effective troubleshooting techniques for identifying and resolving faults.

Emphasizing Basic Workshop Safety remains a top priority, guaranteeing the safe completion of tasks within workshops. Your safety within workshop environments is paramount, and this hands-on class ensures your awareness of essential safety practices. It also introduces the learners to essential hand tools and the skill of how to use them correctly.

This Electrical 1&2 course familiarizes the learner with the diverse electrical components and currents of varying voltages commonly found at sea. Ships operate as intricate environments heavily dependent on electrical systems, components, and equipment to ensure functionality. As an engineer, proficiency in repairing and maintaining such systems is crucial for fulfilling responsibilities at sea. This course comprehensively imparts the necessary skills essential for performing these duties effectively.

As proficient engineers, Fitting and Machining play a crucial role in enabling engineers to maintain and repair equipment. As proficient engineers, Fitting and Machining play a crucial role in enabling engineers to maintain and repair equipment. This course provides hands-on experience with dial milling machines, along with center lathes, covering basic turning as well as more advanced topics like threading to equip you for the specialized tasks needed onboard ships during equipment breakdowns when replacement parts are unavailable.

Learning Objectives: The SAMSA matrix prescribes that the learner should have the following knowledge and practical skills at the end of the course, identify:
