MCA Approved Engine Course (AEC 1 & 2) Certificate

The MCA Approved Engine course or AEC is a 30 hour, 4 day course and is a step up from the RYA 1 day Diesel Engine course. The objective of the course is to provide a basic theoretical knowledge and some practical hands on experience of diesel engines and systems. To make the course as practical as possible we use a number of engines and sections of engines which can be stripped to their component parts and hopefully put back together again.

The course meets the requirements of the MCA Small Commercial Vessel Code, Large Vessel Code and Workboat code and is the initial course on the Engineering pathway.
