| The old style 'Second Hand Special' skipper's ticket for vessels over 16.5m but under 30m - good for going as mate on over 30m and the Long Range Certificate for radio telephony. |
Funding for Cornish fisherman to complete courses toward the proposed “Under 16.5m Skipper’s Ticket” free of charge, has been extended through to May 2011.
The MCA have advised that in the future, it will be a requirement for all skippers of commercial fishing vessels under 16.5m to hold the new ticket, therefore fishermen should be encouraged to take advantage of the funding while it lasts. More detailed information covering all aspects of certification can be found on the MCA web site here.
The funding had been scheduled to come to an end at 31st March, but there are sufficient funds available to continue to offer courses in Cornwall free of charge until May.
In order to qualify for the funding, candidates must have completed their basic training courses consisting of Sea Survival, First Aid, Fire Fighting and Safety Awareness.
