About Fred
Founder & Course Trainer
An unashamedly 6ft ginger that loves boats, and who’s made it their life work to see Superyacht officers pass their oral exams - first time!
“Becoming accredited in this industry is complex, and that’s where I come in. My purpose is to simplify the complicated, my teaching system does that” - Fred
“Fred's System” is based on the simple belief that it's hard for students to always identify their own knowledge gaps. Courses that only cherry-pick parts of the MCA syllabus risk students missing something covered on the exam. Fred's System proudly covers 100% of the MCA syllabus.

Passed! This could be you!
Here’s the problem:
These exams are hard!
(Do you really want to know the statistics?)
Without a roadmap or guidance, this process is overwhelming and the failure rate for these exams is very high.
How do I know?
Because I completed (and struggled) when I did my OOW & Master 3000gt yacht.
Now, as one of the only MCA teachers from a superyacht background, I’ve seen firsthand that our industry needs a fresh new approach.
In short, Fred created something he needed all those years ago.
This is the Oral Prep Course you choose when you need to know you’ve covered everything! No cherry-picking here.
Fred’s taught more than 1,000 crew and still has the best pass rate in the business.
Fred’s VERY proud to say, his system works.
I’m not selling or teaching the same ol’ shit.
First, I want to see you pass.
I don’t diversify and concentrate solely on the M200, Yacht OOW and Master courses to keep the quality and results extremely high. No farming out here! With MCA yearly pass rates so low, there is no room for error.
Second, I believe in quality, not quantity.
Drawing on over a decade of experience, I have meticulously developed and refined the most comprehensive online courses available for MCA oral exam preparation. I personally deliver content that covers 100% of the syllabus, ensuring that you thoroughly understand all topics - after all, “you don’t know what you don’t know”.
My system, based on scientific principles, optimises your study efficiency, enhancing retention and recall. This approach helps you effectively revise large amounts of content quickly, maximising your learning potential and setting you up for exam success.
SO don’t you dare …
waste another year not moving forward…
watch your mate get your dream job…
miss out on that big beautiful tax-free salary…
skip that fancy house/car
just keep wishing you could tell people “I drive a super yacht” 😉
Let’s start together!
What are you waiting for?
Be like this guy, Bryce!
The confidence to walk (or click) into your examination room and know you can pass your oral exam the first time.
