Binnacle School — USCG Captain's License Exam Prep

Study for your U.S. Coast Guard captain's license the way the exam actually works: by module, at your own pace, with an explanation on every question. Whether you're going for an OUPV / Six-Pack, OUPV-Master, or a 100- or 200-Ton Master credential, Binnacle School breaks the written exam into the same categories the Coast Guard tests.

WHAT YOU STUDY

• Navigation Rules (COLREGS / Inland) — lights, shapes, sound signals, give-way and stand-on. The most heavily weighted module on every deck exam.
• Navigation General — piloting, tides and currents, aids to navigation, dead reckoning.
• Deck General — seamanship, ground tackle, stability, firefighting, vessel construction.
• Chart Plotting — set and drift, course to steer, lines of position, fixing your position.
• Meteorology and Safety, scaling up to Celestial Navigation and Radar for the 200-Ton exam.
