COURSE OVERVIEW

The NZ Certificate in Domestic Maritime Operations (Level 4) is commonly known in the NZ maritime sector as the SRL - Skipper Restricted Limits. This licence is the minimum requirement for skippers of vessels up to 12m (or 24m with further endorsement), working up to 12 nautical miles offshore. This is the Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) approved training course that you are required to have completed prior to sitting the MNZ oral examination. On passing this exam you are awarded the SRL licence, an essential step in advancing your maritime career. This programme is a combination of theory and practical training that gives you the skills and knowledge needed to work in the maritime transport, tourism and fishing sectors. Typical roles include skippering vessels engaged in aquaculture (muscle and salmon farms), water taxis, tour boats, cray and pau fishing and work boats.
• Navigation • Engineering • Survival Training • Fire Fighting • Passenger Endorsement • Maritime Restricted Radio Operator Certificate (MRROC) • First Aid • Commercial Maritime Knowledge
• Phase 1: 18 weeks of self-directed study at home or at work. Weekly support from your dedicated tutor, available on-demand when you need guidance. • Phase 2: 5-week intensive block-course combining classroom theory and practical onboard training • MNZ Exam: The MNZ oral examination is scheduled immediately upon completion of the block course, ensuring the material is fresh in your mind.
The SRL programme is intended for people already employed in the maritime sector, or those about to begin working in the sector. With further sea time, SRL graduates may progress to: • Skipper Coastal/Offshore • Master <500GT
