Orals at tyne office instead of Glasgow

[BO-AT]

Hi, because the office in Glasgow and the rest of the scottish offices are so busy i have decided to do my OOW deck orals in the South Shields office. In glasgow we have past papers from previous candidates to give us a rough idea of the way examiners carry out the exam and the most common questions asked. I know every exam
Is diffrent but i was wondering if any one from the Sheilds college has anything like this i could have a copy off or if any one that has been up recently has any advice of trending questions etc. thanks in advance

One warning, South Shields Orals involve a complete radar plot (OAW triangle) on a plotting sheet which whilst not complicated in itself isn't something that most oral examination centres require and could catch out the unaware. Southampton certainly only give a few arrows to shuffle around. They also often give tasks whilst waiting to enter the oral such as an IMDG or a partial accident report which you have to analyse. My only experiences have been South Shields and Southampton and I found South Shields a lot more quirky and individual to the examiner, whereas Southampton seemed a lot more straight down the line.

Some orals reports are online, but nothing would actually stop you walking into South Tyneside College and going to the Marine Learning Centre where iirc they keep copies of orals reports.

Hi there Captain,

Did you son make an oral report from his orals at South Shields? I have a friend who is looking to do their orals there and any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks
