Course Comparison
Physical booking FAQ
Mariners need one to get an original Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC), to raise their grade, or to renew their medical certificate. Your provider records the exam on Form CG-719K, which you then submit to the National Maritime Center through the Navita portal.
No, it's separate. Most MMC applications require a drug test taken within the past 185 days, but a drug test isn't required when you're applying for a medical certificate only. Sea School's sister business, APCA, offers both one-time drug tests for mariners and random drug testing consortium management for companies and owner/operators.
For deck officers, vision must be correctable to at least 20/40 in one eye, with uncorrected vision of at least 20/200 in that same eye, and color vision must be satisfactory. For engineers, the corrected vision standard is 20/50. For hearing, you need an unaided threshold of 30 decibels or less in at least one ear on an audiometer test. If you don't pass the audiometer test, a speech discrimination test can still qualify you. If you need glasses or hearing aids to meet the standards, your credential will carry a limitation requiring you to wear them while working.
No. By booking your physical online with Sea School you are reserving your spot a specific day and location. Once you show up to the Sea School location you are reserved for, the doctor or practitioner will see you and other mariners on a first-come, first-serve basis.
It’s Time to Start Your Maritime Career!
Helping thousands of mariners every year, Sea School is a leader in the maritime education space. Whether you are new to the industry or looking to add onto your Merchant Mariner Credential, find the courses right for you at Sea School.
