STCW 2010 changes effecting HNC exeptions

[mikcle60]

I see now that with the new STCW 2010 changes have been made to HNC route. you will no longer get exemptions from 2nd engineers certificate. this will effect all courses starting from July 2013. Does anyone know how this will effect current cadets doing an HNC? will they still get the exemptions?

Specific aims of the HNC Group Award
Prepare candidates for written and oral examinations for Engineer Officer of the Watch
Provide academic exemptions for STCW95 Reg III/2 2nd Engineer Unlimited Engineering Certification.
Contribute towards developing skills to enable candidates to operate a vessel in a safe and effective manner.
Contribute towards developing skills to enable candidates to work with others in safe and effective manner.
Contribute towards developing skills to deal with emergency situations. Develop awareness of current maritime legislation.

My reading of the document is that HNC gives exemptions from 2nd eng and HND gives exmptions from Ch Eng?
