The Ideal Resource for CoC Exam Prep: Witherby Connect Study - Chief Mates and Masters Bundle

Designed for Maritime Students and Training Institutions: Witherby Connect Study – Chief Mates and Masters Bundle 

We recently introduced a new way of optimising Witherby Connect, our browser-based eBook platform, through offering a brand-new subscription service.  

For just £20 per month*, it provides access to various key maritime publications to support Certificate of Competency (CoC) exam preparation at Chief Mate and Master levels in line with UK requirements. 

Used in conjunction with the various tools available on Witherby Connect that allow you to annotate, highlight and organise your eBooks, you will feel thoroughly prepared for your exams.

Nathan Nicholson, Witherbys Technical Advisor – Regulatory and Shipboard Operations, reflects on his experience and how this bundle would have made a real difference to his studies: 

“When studying for my CoC exams, I had to carry numerous textbooks around with me. Having every publication you could ever need to pass your oral exams in one place, available to access at any time, at the click of a button would have been invaluable. 

The fact that all of the resources are kept up to date to ensure that the latest edition is available is another great feature that would have saved me a lot of time while studying.”

What will you gain access to when you subscribe? 

✅ Key maritime conventions and codes 

✅ regulatory primers

Alongside these resources, you will be able to optimise the latest editions of various Witherbys titles and publications by industry bodies responsible for introducing regulations for seafarers, such as the International Maritime Organization:
