      Re: ETO musings

      Outside the RFA, ETO means "SE" in RFA terms.

      You'd need a minimum of a HNC E&E Engineering. ...HVAC requires special certificates.

      It's possible to do a part time distance HNC with COLU at tees.ac.uk

      ...something that could probably serve as a stepping stone to MCA MEEE (Marine Electric & Electronic Engineering) certification.
      Certainly, there are plenty of RFA SEs and Cruise Ship & Tanker ETOs with HNCs rather than degrees.

      The MCA seems to be moving rapidly towards an electrical version of the EOOW CoC.
      I suppose that means they ought to rethink the acronyms, otherwise it's gunna get silly.
