AMSA Oral Exam Preparation guide — how the exam works, what AMSA publishes and how to prepare.
Preparation for every AMSA oral exam level

International (STCW) certificates
Domestic commercial vessel (Near Coastal) certificates
Near Coastal candidates preparing for the domestic commercial vessel (DCV) oral examination are supported alongside the international levels.

The content you see depends on the rank you enrol for and on what has been published for that rank. AMSA Examiner’s practice material is study material, not official AMSA examination content.
Start with AMSA’s official requirements
AMSA publishes the syllabus and examiner checklist for each certificate and advises candidates to use the checklist as their study plan. AMSA Examiner is an independent study resource operated by Navisailor Learning Centre — it is not operated or endorsed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, and it does not replace AMSA’s own requirements. Always confirm the current syllabus and exam rules with AMSA.
