The on board training aims to educate / train students in the practical skills of previously obtained theoretical knowledge in operating conditions aboard merchant vessels in accordance with the requirements of the STCW Convention and to obtain the time at sea required by Swedish Transport Agency (TSFS 2011:116) to obtain certificate as an engineer officer.

          Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

          General learning outcome for all on board training
