STCW stands for Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping and these standards were created by the International Maritime Organization to ensure that seafarers worldwide were being trained under the same standards.
Some countries have different standards for seafarers that only work or trade in their domestic waters. When someone says you "need STCW" it is not referring to one specific course, but refers to the standards required for you to work on vessels operating internationally. Depending on what license you are seeking to obtain, where you are working, and what size vessel, you will be required to obtain any number of courses.
All of CMET-O s maritime training courses are part of the STCW standards. Some of the courses, such as those that are part of the Directorate General Shipping domestic licensing program, are also based on STCW standards. You must determine whether or not you need International or Domestic certification based on the courses you have done. If you are a fresher, you can enroll in to any of the 15 PMA approved international certification courses and if you have already done maritime courses, you can enroll in to any of the 42 PMA approved domestic certification.We highly recommend checking with the CMET-O Administration you want a license from before purchasing any courses.
Visit the "Careers" tab for information regarding the licensing process. Our Career Tracks are designed to help you figure out what license you should pursue and what the requirements are to obtain that license.
Sea time or "sea service" means service on board a ship relevant to the issue or revalidation of a certificate or other qualification. The best way to document sea time is through a Seafarer Log Book. If you have served onboard a vessel, you should have been issued "discharge papers" identifying your time served onboard. Discharge papers can be used to document sea time.
Letters on official letterhead indicating the vessel details, dates of service, waters of service, and position(s) served in
Other official documents such as service logs or discharge books from marine companies.
Those unfamiliar with the process of documenting sea service might ask the following questions:
Sea service is a measure of a mariner s lifetime experience on boats, whether recreational, commercial, or military. It may be counted from the day a mariner turns age 16 and accumulates over his or her lifetime.
A day of sea service is any day that a mariner served upon a vessel in an assigned position in either the deck or engineering department of a vessel (not a passenger). The position may include duties such as: handling lines, being a lookout, steering the boat, and other navigational or propulsion functions.
Sea service never expires and may be reused when applying for new endorsements. It is the mariner s responsibility to keep copies of all sea service records.

Discharge papers can be used to document sea time.
Depending on the certification you are seeking to obtain, some CMET courses can be taken in lieu of sea time, reducing the overall amount of sea time needed to obtain your certificate. Please check the list of required documents:
An "Original" license is the license you receive from a particular country such as Panama. Using this "Original" license, you can seek work on STCW-compliant vessels flagged with other countries. In order to work on another country s vessel, you must have your "Original" license endorsed by receiving an "Endorsement" from that country. This is essentially a verification that your license is valid and you meet the standards required to work. Not all countries recognize each other s licenses.
Most exams are taken online using Online Examination System. For more information on how online exams are taken, please see "What is OES?" below.
For those courses requiring "In-person" or "Practical" Assessments, other option is available. Each course description contains information on assessment location. To schedule an assessment contact CMET-O.
Some STCW courses allow mariners to complete their assessments on-board their vessel using "Training Record Books." To learn more about Training Record Books, read your course description(s) or see "Training Record Books" below.
In-person assessments can be scheduled by contacting CMET or our main HSNA-Dubailocation. Please see the "Support" page to contact CMET. Almost all online exams can be scheduled at your convenience and are done completely individually through the Online Examination System software.
A few courses require an instructor to log you in to your exam and get you started. If that is the case, you will be notified at the end of your course and provided instructions on how to schedule your assessment. You will also receive an email regarding the scheduled online or in-person assessment.
OES Software was developed by Centre for Maritime Education and Training - Lucknow and provides learning solutions for CMET-O and other educational organizations. CMET-O Simulators are incorporated into courses like GMDSS, giving mariners access to high-end technology at their fingertips. In addition, written exams can be taken online using our exam monitoring software.
