Onboard Maritime Avis 42

Fantastic setup and very well structured course covering all of the Masters Syllabus. The style of teaching in the classes certainly helps to get you up to speed and at the level required to pass the exam.

I was doing the OOW oral prep course and the Daily group sessions and the 1 on 1 sessions were extremely helpful. the lecturers were always friendly and very helpful.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support and guidance they provided throughout my preparation for my Officer of the watch exam. Their tutoring played a huge part in helping me pass, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better team behind me.

What really stood out was the consistency of their support not just during lessons, but throughout the entire journey. They pushed me when I needed it, and celebrated every bit of progress along the way. I owe a huge part of this success to Onboard Maritime, and especially to those behind the scenes who I have never seen or can put a voice to (Jade and Harrison) are just as amazing as the tutors I have worked with on a daily basis. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

I used Onboard Maritime whilst studying for my OOW Unlimited. I would highly recommend to anybody else who will be completing any exams. I especially appreciated the daily calls and the ability to replay them in case I missed any. The resources for Part A and Part B are brilliant also.

I did my Chief Mate Unlimited SQA prep & oral prep with Onboard Maritime and I am very satisfied. The content is excellent and the tutors are highly knowledgeable and helpful. Everything is done online and you can study and participate in the live sessions from wherever you want. Both SQA prep and orals prep are highly recommended!

I did use the Onboard Maritime platform to prepare for my OOW Unlimited final Oral examinations with the MCA (both part A and B) and it was extremely useful. The online resources are comprehensive and well structured, and the group sessions were very useful, as they were themed and gave me extra focus to revise specific topics that perhaps would not have received so much of my attention otherwise. Finally the tutors are very helpful and I benefited extremely from the 1:1 sessions closer to the time of my actual oral exam. Philip, in particular, is a remarkable tutor and he was really supportive. To sum it up, I would recommend Onboard Maritime to anyone needing help preparing for their OOW exams.

This was my first time using Onboard Maritime (for Chief Mates) and I have been very impressed with the resources and the level of knowledge of the instructors. The 4 week study classes provide a good structure to the study, and include any trend in questions that have recently been asked. All instructors have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and are very approachable should you need to contact them. Having the WhatsApp group chat also provides a space to ask any questions you are a bit stuck on. Overall Onboard Maritime is the obvious choice to study with for your exams!

A pleasure working with Angus and Co.
Structured, relevant, friendly yet focused studies that do prepare you for the orals exams and cover all aspects of the syllabus.
Thanks again.

Excellent oral prep, the daily lessons were well structured and set up so do an hour, 30 min break then another hour so you have time to digest the lesson and take notes. I had my Masters oral exam a few days after completion of the prep and passed first time so the proof is in the pudding. I would 100% recommend.

Signed up for the Masters unlimited course in October 2025 and passed my orals December 3rd. The online content is is well structured and provides plenty of detail. I was onboard during the Q&A sessions but used the recordings to keep up pace, which was great!

Felt fully prepared by the time my exam came around.

Highly recommended!

Returning to Onboard Maritime felt like coming full circle — especially knowing that Angus, who was my lecturer back in college, is at the helm. The standard he set in the classroom is clearly reflected throughout the entire organisation.

From written exam preparation to oral prep, every aspect of the training is exceptional. The admin team working behind the scenes is equally outstanding, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

Onboard Maritime has truly revolutionised how seafarers can advance their careers. The ability to access high quality training from anywhere in the world is invaluable, and you can be completely confident that you’ll be fully prepared for any upcoming exams.

A big shout-out to Angus, Phillip, and David for their continued commitment and support.

I’ll see you all again in a couple of months for the Masters Unlimited Oral Prep!

Onboard Maritime have now successfully guided me through my Chief Mate & Master Unlimited orals on first attempt.
The volume of well structured content is a great base to build upon without feeling spoon fed.
The classes get you speaking as if you are already in the next rank up.
Angus and the team keep the classes up to date and relevant to the syllabus.

These courses are a credit to the industry. I recommend highly to anyone.

Overall experience with onboard maritime was excellent. The 3 tutors Ian , Angus and Philip, have a very good, broad variety of knowledge and experience between them and they all have slightly different styles of teaching which is a great asset.

Great course and tutors. Content was excellent and really prepared me for Masters orals. The lessons get you in the headspace for answering as you should in the exam and the tutors make the content fun and engaging.

Very happy with the service and materials Onboard Maritime provides. Definitely contributed to my successful pass of my Part B Orals on the first attempt of it.

The team is supportive and engaging, and provided additional support to me in different areas where I needed help during my Orals preparation period. When I had issues with content and where the information had come from, they were able to present where the source of information had come from to clarify my concerns - something which is very critical when undertaking Orals Prep as making sure you have reliable and accurate material is critical.

Absolutely will use this service again, would recommend.

Great course and online resources. Allows you to prepare and you're own pace. The tutors are all very approachable and happy to answer any questions. Would recommend to anyone preparing for MCA written and oral examinationa.

I used the Onboard Maritime Management Orals Prep Course to prepare for my Masters Unlimited Oral exam. The resources that are provided for you to go through prior to the course starting are fantastic and a great way to refresh your knowledge on subjects you haven’t looked at in a while.
The course itself is brilliant, with the subject knowledge and dedication from the instructors being invaluable to helping me pass my exam (first time!). Being on the course with likeminded individuals was also of great value, allowing us all to do calls outside of class to get up to speed on speaking answers aloud and learning from different people’s experiences and areas of strength.
The biggest testament I can give this course is how well prepared and confident I felt going into the exam. If you put the work in alongside attending this course you’ll give yourself a very good chance of passing and becoming a better officer in the process!

I used onboard maritime for my Masters Unlimited. The product that Onboard Maritime offers is outstanding. Very good resources, good communication and live sessions give you an excellent understanding of structuring of answers. I will recommend onboard to anybody

Had a wonderful experience with Onboard Maritime. The daily tutorials are excellent as they cover key topics in the syllabus and the tutors are extremely knowledgeable while being very open to questioning. I owe a lot to Angus and the team, they really did help me achieve the OOW, from setting me on the right path and building my confidence, which was essentail in getting my knowledge across to the examiner.

I did the masters unlimited course with Onboard Maritime in preparation for MCA oral exam.
The standard and knowledge of the teachers is fantastic, and the content on their learning platform is brilliant for getting a thorough in depth knowledge of all the content from the syllabus.
The whole team are great to work with, and I cannot recommend them enough.
I did my chief mates several years ago with Onboard, and I write this as a super happy returning student.
