See if you want to become a radio officer in the marine side then you have to clear the exam called certificate of competency

If you have passed your 10th standard and are above 17 years can join this course.

All the best

I was a ships RO for 9 years....they stopped needing to carry them around the year 2000? Replaced by a system called GMDSS (satellites and automation of communications such as digital selective calling and GPS etc)...So basically better off pursuing a career as a Deck Navigation Officer ("Mate"), Integrated rating ("Able Seaman") or Ships Engineer. You need to get a Cadetship with a shipping company and they will send you to college to train!

Is a Radio officers licence (COP and RTG) equivalent to a bachelors degree? And is a GMDSS GOC certificate equivalent to a post graduation?
