If you do not have time to attend classes, you can study remotely.

Once you have enrolled and processed your course fees, you will access your student portal. The portal is where all your course material will be located, including all your assignments and student handouts.

You can submit your assignments to your designated assessor and feedback received through the same system.

Remote students are given ten contact hours with their designated assessor to assist them through this process should they need it, and further assistance is available for students when necessary.

Once Remote students have completed all of their assignments, they will need to contact ECA Maritime College to organise a time to sit their written exams.

As part of the maritime training package curriculum, each subject holds a practical assessment component, and students must attend our Brisbane Campus to complete this.

We cannot issue a certificate without all curriculum components being satisfied; this includes the practical assessment.
