Take the reins of your learning experience with our online revision & tutoring sessions… At JPMA, we understand that seafarers preparing for MCA Deck oral exams may not know where to focus their studies, or encounter challenges in specific subjects. That’s why we’ve added to our famous oral preparation services, to provide targeted assistance through our online, student-led, hourly sessions.
Whether you’re at the start of your studies without a fixed oral exam date, or grappling with challenges in revising a particular subject, our online sessions offer a flexible solution.
These sessions are designed to be at your pace and cater to your specific needs, to put you in control of your learning journey. Use them as a tool to check your basic knowledge before deciding on your revision strategy, or focus on particular topics where you seek additional guidance.
JPMA is the home of the original oral prep course. Our meticulously crafted courses and pre-course prep packs, originally established by the late Captain John Percival in the 1990s, have guided thousands of candidates to success. Despite John’s passing in 2014, our dedicated instructors have seamlessly continued his legacy, consistently achieving high pass rates on the first attempt.
Our online revision sessions are conducted by the same instructors who teach these oral prep courses, and are available to those studying for an MCA oral exam for the following UK Deck CoCs:
Flexible Booking Options:
Book a single hour for a quick sense check of your understanding, or schedule a block of sessions in the months leading up to your exam date.
The sessions can be spread over any period of time, whether it be 1 hour every 2 weeks, or full day study sessions, allowing you to customise your learning experience according to your schedule and preferences, and make the most of our instructors’ deep knowledge.
These sessions are not intended to replace our comprehensive 5 day oral prep course, but serve as a fantastic way to regularly connect with our instructors while studying at home or on board.
They also provide an opportunity to test the waters with a mock exam, ensuring you’re on the right track, and are a valuable resource for those considering booking our oral prep course.
