Wow good news for you man. =)

would like to ask what is the requirement to study Diploma in Nautical Studies ?

im currently just finish my diploma in accountancy, and feel like changing course

roughly how much to study Diploma in Nautical Studies ? how many years?

do you all proceed with degree after get ur diploma? or just start working d?

thanks in advance

1) In my academy SMA, the total fees is roughly about 55k, accommodation and meal inclusive.

2) 3 years

3) No. Because upon receiving our 3rd class CoC, we are entitled to become 3rd Officer onboard ship.

One more thing that stopped me is the requirement need a good eyesight right ?
My eye sight is not that super good, right with 6/12, left with 6/9

Will this be a problem ?

Yes, for deck side you need a perfect eyesight. consider to do LASIK?

nope, did not thinking about doing laser~

that means no hope ?

If you do not want to do laser, you can still join diploma in marine engineering. You can wear spectacles.
But still work onboard a ship

not really into engineering line

btw really no way to go into Nautical Studies with eye sight 6/9 ? i normally did not wear any glasses ~

Sarawak Maritime Academy

Yeah, I think so.

I do have a question here

What does it means for visual acuity unaided and with visual aids ?

" Applicants for the Diploma in Nautical Studies course must have good eyesight (i.e. visual acuity unaided of 6/60 in both eyes and with visual aids of 6/6 in the better eye and at least 6/9 in the other eye) "
