Maritime Studies Units and Qualifications, and National Occupational Standards

The MSA has developed a suite of MSQs, Maritime Studies Qualifications, supported by over 130 Units, which are the building blocks for qualifications. They’re all listed below, and in this downloadable document: MSQ Qualifications and Units

In many cases a Unit is shared between several qualifications, matching the reality that much of what people need to know is common to a number of sectors within the broader maritime sector.

CORONAVIRUS AND ASSESSMENT: MSA has had no requests as a result of the disruption round the coronavirus to vary how any candidate is assessed for any Maritime Studies Qualification, and we have not sought any variation from SQA. Assessment is likely to take place later than originally planned, but in the same way, with suitable adjustments for social distancing. If any centre wants something different, please get in touch with MSA’s Secretary, David Tournay on davidt@evolution-partnership.com

For qualifications designed for use by young people of school age, see our Resources for Schools page.

Most Units are based on National Occupational Standards. We keep the NOS under review, but where the NOS are based on STCW they will only change when STCW changes, so when you see that many are dated '2010' it does not mean that they are out-of-date. See Section D at the foot of this page for a full set of current NOS.

And wherever relevant we have matched each Unit, qualification and apprenticeship to the syllabus published by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Anyone passing those qualifications will have met the MCA’s requirements for the underpinning knowledge for certification, though they’ll obviously need to meet the other criteria too, particularly qualifying sea / service time.

Learn@Sea: In addition to our own Maritime Studies Qualifications, the MSA recommends the prize-winning short courses produced by the Marine Society specifically for seafarers: maths@sea; maths+@sea; writing@sea; english@sea; and spreadsheets@sea.

This section contains four lists:

A: Maritime Studies Qualifications

B: MSQ Units on which they are based, in numerical order.
(Most have hyperlinks to the full Unit).

C: MSQ Units grouped alphabetically

D: National Occupational Standards

Latest changes:

  • Planned creation of two qualifications following the work of the Small Vessel Engineer Working Group (see MIN 524):
    • Diploma in Maritime Studies: Small Vessel Second Engineer (Level 2)
    • Diploma in Maritime Studies: Small Vessel Chief Engineer (Level 3)
  • Units 77 and 137 are in preparation (for the new Small Vessel Engineer Diploma). (77 was written some time ago, but never approved)
