This program in-lieu of sea-time takes candidates to the point of obtaining a USCG license as Mate (Pilot) of Towing Vessels through an intensive sequence of formal, Coast Guard-approved courses, simulator training, and on-board experience, training, and evaluation in a cooperative program.  The program length is 453 days (15 months), including “off time”. The approved program is in accordance with 46 CFR §10.304.

 

The course will satisfy the recent service requirements as it has been carefully balanced with “At Sea Training Periods” where normal duties are clearly carried out, demonstrated, assessed and validated as noted in 46 CFR § 10.304 (b).  Simulator time within the program constitutes 38% of the required sea service equivalency meeting the requirements of 46 CFR § 10.304 (d).  Requirements for 46 CFR § 10.304 (g) and (h) are met by using an upgraded USCG Towing Officer Assessment Record as a base document.

 

Any applicant who has successfully completed the Mate (Pilot) Training Program will receive 270 days of sea service credit that may be used to qualify for a license as Mate (Pilot) of Towing Vessels Inland and/or Western Rivers.  Service acquired during the “at-sea” periods of this program may be used in addition to this sea service award to qualify for the Mate (Pilot) license will be credited at 1:5 to 1.  The “at-sea” service should be documented with a normal service letter from the vessel operator.  Applicants must obtain at least 90 days of service on each route for which they will be licensed, and they must present a completed Towing Officer Assessment Record (TOAR) for each route.
