Electro -Tech Preparation
Electro-Technical Officer
STCW Regulation III/6
TST Engineering Services delivers the most personalised and comprehensive tuition package for Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) certification under STCW Regulation III/6. Our tailored and structured delivery ensures candidates develop the practical understanding and technical confidence required of a modern Electro-Technical Officer at sea.
Our approach goes beyond simply covering the syllabus. We focus on building deep technical competence across marine electrical, electronic, and control systems so that you enter your ETO Oral Examination fully prepared and confident in your ability.
Most importantly, we recognise that this stage represents the transition from cadet to professional Electro-Technical Officer. At TST Engineering Services, we ensure you approach your MCA Oral Examination with the knowledge, confidence, and professional mindset needed to pass first time and begin your career at sea.
Stuck on where to start with your ETO Orals?
You’re in the right place.
Feeling overwhelmed by the UK MCA Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) syllabus?
You aren’t alone. Between the extensive electrical theory, electronic control systems, automation, and the unpredictable nature of oral questioning, most candidates don’t know where to begin or which subject to prioritise first.
Why TST Stands Out:
We aren't just tutors; we are:
-
IMO Accredited Technical Instructors - we have the formal certification to teach effectively, not just recite facts accredited under IMO Resolution 3.12, 6.09 & 6.10.
-
Serving on some of the world’s most technologically advanced vessels means when we discuss electrical distribution, automation systems, propulsion control, and marine electronics, it comes from real operational experience — not theory alone.
We Care About More Than Just a "Pass"
A failed exam is more than just a setback; it’s a blow to your confidence and a delay in your earnings.
We focus on the "Big Picture":
-
Protecting Your Momentum - Long delays between attempts often lead to knowledge gaps and loss of technical sharpness. Our structured approach keeps you progressing steadily toward certification.
-
Building Real Technical Confidence - We ensure you understand systems, not just memorise answers. By the time you sit your oral exam, it should feel like a professional discussion — not an interrogation.
-
Getting You Qualified and Working - Our aim is to get you certified and back at sea as a qualified Electro-Technical Officer, with the competence and confidence to manage modern electrical and automation systems from day one.
Stop guessing and start preparing with precision.
We’ve been exactly where you are. That’s why we’ve developed a personalised training delivery programme that breaks down the STCW III/6 ETO syllabus into a structured and manageable road map tailored specifically to your needs.

Stephen Wilkinson, UK EOoW
When I first started my revision for EOOW unlimited oral exam I was very overwhelmed, until 3-4 sessions in with Antony and my perspective totally changed. Knowledge is unbelievable and teaches you in huge depths to the point where you feel confident answering questions in ways you never thought you would.
Really recommend Antony to anyone he is so helpful!

I am unsure if I want to commit to TST, there are other providers. Of course this is always in your mind, TST is not an academy, we don't have a huge amount of tutors who will randomly come and go. TST is the most personalised service made up of only 3 professionals who are dedicated to deliver our structured course material We provide full transcriptions of our calls to, free of charge so all your time is spent listening, asking questions and not wasting your time writing things down. You can always see our reviews too, we would share the bad ones, but there aren't any...
How many hours of tuition do I need? Tuition typically takes 10-12 hours of intense 1 to 1 consultation, during that period you will be given in depth overview of the questions asked on each topic area as well as the foundational knowledge in response to such a question allowing you, to formulate your own structured answers. Time does vary based on several factors but as a typical average the above is accurate.
