Overview:
A step towards achieving the Ship’s Cook Certificate is to take the Assessment in Marine Cookery. One common misunderstanding is that this assessment is the same as the Ship’s Cook Certificate. It’s required that all Chef’s on board a charter with 10 crew or more must obtain and hold a certified Chefs Cook Certificate.

To qualify for the Certificate of Competency (CoC), applicants must:
- Be at least 18 years of age

- UK Level 2 cookery qualification | 1 Year cooking experience with 1-month Seatime | Fishing Cook Certificate with 1 months sea time | 1 Year sea time as a ships cook
- Apply for MCA Ships Cook Certificate
Duration:
The time to obtain the CoC depends on the applicant’s experience and qualifications.
