The EOOW & ETO Bible

The complete study companion for marine engineers preparing for the MCA EOOW and ETO Certificates of Competence.

Built around the STCW A-III/1 and A-III/6 syllabus (MCA MIN 654) — from exam prep to engine-room watch.

The EOOW & ETO Bible covers every topic on the MCA Engineer Officer of the Watch (EOOW) and Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) syllabus in a single app. Sitting Part A and Part B? It's your exam companion. Already qualified and heading back to sea? It's the fastest way to sharpen up before stepping into the engine room.
