Have you thought about a seafaring career? Left the navy and want to work ashore? In the coastal industry but want to move to ocean going vessels? Then AMC is the place to gain your qualifications.
Beginning your Ocean (Bluewater/International) seafaring career
You can choose between pursuing a Deck Officer or Engineer Officer career pathway (larger merchant vessels including tankers, bulk cargo carriers or passenger liners). This choice will affect which courses and examinations you need to undertake and your tasks and responsibilities while you are working on a vessel.
Beginning your Coastal (Australian) seafaring career
Coastal seafarers may start their career as a deckhand on small coastal vessels such as a tug, tourism boat or fishing vessel. Coastal seafarers often obtain both deck officer and engineer officer qualifications (and license).
