MCA Engineering Courses
MCA Approved Engine Course 1 (AEC 1) - this 5 day course is seen as the first rung on the engineering ladder for those with no formal marine engineering experience and is an ideal introduction for those who wish to improve and enhance their employment prospects in the various aspects of the marine industry. It is a very hands on practical course where students work on a variety of marine engines.
MCA Approved Engine Course 2 (AEC 2) - The MCA have recently introduced a new course, MCA Approved Engine Course 2 (AEC 2) as part of the small vessel engineer training programme. This new scheme 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.

Guy Boyd
Karen is clearly a highly experienced and credible sailor, and an excellent instructor, and this makes for a superb learning experience.
She managed to achieve a perfect balance of task-tension (to cover the extensive YM Coastal Theory content in the allotted time) and caring, collegial coaching support (to stop us freaking out when it all got a bit tense) with the outcome that we all made the grade at the first attempt.
Thank you Karen - I'll be back soon for my First Aid course!Robert Stones

Philip Pearson
Thoroughly enjoyed this course (AEC Level 2), a good stepping stone for furthering a career in the marine engineering industry. The instructor we had was very professional and made the course enjoyable as well as informative. The admin was good and the training aids were good for the course, things will be improved even further when they move to bigger premises. I will look forward to training with them in the future.

Well run and professional, thanks Karen.
James Moon
I did (and passed) my one day VHF course and exam at Emsworth School of Navigation. The teaching was at just the right level for our group, focussing not just on the required elements, but useful real world tips as well (with plenty of opportunities to ask questions). Would highly recommend.
