Re: promotion
Hi, you will sit exams to hold the certification for certain levels of your licence as below;
Engineers: EOOW - 2nd Engineer - Chief Engineer
Deck: OOW - Chief Officer - Master
However, just because you hold a certificate for a particular level will not mean you are employed by a company at that level, some companies require you to hold a certificate for the level above which you are currently employed.
Similarly, you could well find yourself holding a chief engineers licence and joining a ship as a 3rd engineer (or masters and joining as a 2nd / 3rd officer) it all depends on what positions are available within your company.
For further information see (these are for Warsash courses and they may differ slightly from other colleges);

- Deck Cadets - FdDg[/*:3h6zhk1b]
