The Master 24 Navigation Watch Keeping Skill Set is an intensive five-day course and is mandatory for the Certificate III in Maritime Operations (Master up to 24 Metres near Coastal) qualification.
Participants will learn how to:

- Manage crew on watch
- Plan, navigate and execute a passage in a range of weather and tides
