MCA Approved Engine Course (AEC 2)

This 5 day course forms part of the small vessel engineer training programme which is designed so that engineering qualifications will be transferrable between different industry sectors (yachts, workboats, tugs, fishing vessels etc) and will no longer have offshore limits.
