I'm an ETO cadet on the new scheme which doesn't grant an engineering OOW and since I've been on my 2nd training ship (NLV Pharos) which carries an electro mechanical engineer EME (which is their term for an ETO from the old scheme OOW engineer plus electrics add on), I started wondering...
Would ETOs on DSV, PSV and other work boat style ships all require an EOOW?
and how could I go about adding this to my skillset once I've finished the new ETO scheme?
The MCA website seems to say that outside of a cadetship, you can obtain the EOOW by basically assisting engineering watchkeepers to gain the seatime, going on an intensive college course to pass the two written exams then apply to sit the oral.
I'm keen to hear any comments from any of the qualified engineers on the forum.
Thanks, Chris
