  2. THIRD CLASS MARINE ENGINEERING • The 3rd Class course of the Marine Engineering Specialisation is intended to be no more than a basic introduction to the small marine diesel engine and its associated mechanical and electrical systems. Intorduction to Marine Engineering

  3. On Achieving Class 3 You Should Be Able: • Understand the need for mechanical and electrical Health & Safety Rules, with particular emphasis on the Workshop environment. • Understand the working cycles of the diesel engine. • Identify and understand the function of the major components of a diesel engine. Cont’d Intorduction to Marine Engineering

  4. Understand the function of the basic Mechanical and Electrical systems associated with a small marine diesel engine in a typical SCC motor boat installation. • Understand types of fastenings both Mechanical and Electrical in common use, and be able to use the tools used in conjunction with them. • Be able to use simple electrical meters. Intorduction to Marine Engineering

  5. SECOND CLASS MARINE ENGINEERING • The 2nd Class Course of the Marine Engineering Specialisation is intended to introduce the cadet to practical operation, routine care and maintenance of a small diesel engine; it associated electrical systems and a small boat electrical system. Intorduction to Marine Engineering

  6. On Achieving Class 2 You Should Be Able: • Understand the need for Health & Safety rules, particularly during operating and maintenance procedures. • Understand the purpose of all mechanical and electrical systems associated with a small diesel engine. • Understand the purpose of all electrical systems aboard a small boat Cont’d Intorduction to Marine Engineering

  7. Be capable of assisting a qualified engineer in small maintenance tasks. • Be capable of operating a motor boat diesel engine, its associated electrical systems and the boat’s electrical systems. Note • Most of the Marine Engineering (Mechanical) Class II Syllabus is based on the RYA Diesel Engine Course. Completion of the course at a RYA recognised teaching establishment with RYA recognised Instructors will qualify for the award of the RYA Course certificate. Intorduction to Marine Engineering

  8. FIRST CLASS MARINE ENGINEERING (MECHANICAL) • The 1st Class Marine Engineering Specialisation (Mechanical) is intended to enable a cadet to progress to become the competent operator of small marine diesel and outboard engines. It will enable a cadet to have a deeper understanding of Health & Safety awareness, which will include manual handling, noise and fuel dangers. It will also, when used alongside the 1st Class Marine Engineering Specialisation (Electrical), form a basis upon which to build his/her Offshore Engineering capabilities. Intorduction to Marine Engineering

  9. On Achieving Class 1 (MECHANICAL) You Should Be Able: • Have a responsible understanding of Health & Safety Rules. • Be a competent operator of a small marine diesel engine. • Be capable of carrying out routine maintenance and top overhaul of a small marine diesel engine. • Be a competent operator of an outboard engine. • Be able to carry out simple outboard engine fault diagnosis & rectification. Intorduction to Marine Engineering

  10. FIRST CLASS MARINE ENGINEERING (ELECTRICAL) • The 1st Class Marine Engineering Specialisation (Electrical) is intended to provide a cadet with knowledge of the principles of power generation and of power distribution requirements in an offshore vessel. It will also provide practical, supervised, fault diagnosis experience, and enable a deeper understanding and awareness of electrical Health & Safety. When used alongside the 1st Class Marine Engineering Specialisation (Mechanical), it will form the basis upon which to build his/her offshore engineering capabilities. Intorduction to Marine Engineering

  11. On Achieving Class 1 (ELECTRICAL) You Should Be Able: • Have a responsible understanding of Health & Safety Rules • Under supervision, witness the operation of electrical switchgear up to 240Volts AC • Under supervision, witness the connection of shore supply up to 240Volts AC • Supervise and carry out battery maintenance and charging • Be capable of assisting in tracing simple faults in circuits up to 24 volts • Be aware of the need to carry out Portable Appliance Testing Intorduction to Marine Engineering
