It covers ship construction and safety, marine engineering knowledge across general, motor and steam plant, electro-technology, and workshop practice, preparing candidates for the MEO Class-IV Certificate of Competency exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the syllabus for the brand new mandatory course covering Officer in Charge of an Engineering Watch, the first CoC most marine engineers sit after their mandatory sea service. If you want the eligibility rules and effective dates first, our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indosearch.in\/learn\/meo-and-eto-preparatory-course-requirement\/\"> MEO and ETO preparatory course requirements guide<\/a> covers that.

Does the MEO Class-IV Preparatory Course Prepare You For?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course exists to bridge two very different things: the practical, hands-on exposure a cadet gets during sea service, and the structured theory an examiner expects in a written and oral CoC exam. It&#8217;s built around STCW Regulation III\/1, which sets the competence standard for an Officer in Charge of an Engineering Watch, and Section A-III\/1 of the STCW Code, which spells out exactly what that officer needs to know, understand, and be able to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the quick facts before we go section by section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Attribute<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Detail<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Duration<\/td><td>1 month (4 weeks)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Working days<\/td><td>20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Contact hours<\/td><td>120<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Delivery mode<\/td><td>Fully offline, classroom-based<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Governing regulation<\/td><td>STCW Regulation III\/1, Section A-III\/1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Leads to<\/td><td>MEO Class-IV Certificate of Competency exam<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mandatory for<\/td><td>Candidates appearing for the first time, or returning after sitting no function in 2026, on or after 1 January 2027<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_the_MEO_Class-IV_Syllabus_Structured\"><\/span>How Is the MEO Class-IV Syllabus Structured?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The syllabus groups its content under four STCW functions. Ship construction and safety sits under Function 3, engineering knowledge under Function 4, electro-technology under Function 5, and workshop practice under Function 6. Here&#8217;s the topic map before we unpack each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>STCW Function<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Subject Block<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Core Focus<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Function 3<\/td><td>Ship Construction, Stability and Safety<\/td><td>Hull structure, stability, damage control, firefighting, life-saving appliances, pollution prevention<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Function 4<\/td><td>Marine Engineering Knowledge, General<\/td><td>Boilers, steam auxiliaries, alternative fuel awareness, pumping and auxiliary systems, watchkeeping<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Function 4<\/td><td>Marine Engineering Knowledge, Motor<\/td><td>Diesel engine construction, fuel injection, turbochargers, maneuvering, fault diagnosis<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Function 4<\/td><td>Marine Engineering Knowledge, Steam<\/td><td>Thermodynamics, boiler and turbine design, feed systems, watchkeeping and safety<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Function 5<\/td><td>Marine Electro-Technology<\/td><td>Electrical fundamentals, machines, distribution, electronics, automation, cyber hygiene<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Function 6<\/td><td>Marine Engineering Practice<\/td><td>Hand tools, machine tools, materials, welding, planned maintenance, tribology<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A candidate serving on a motor vessel will lean harder on the motor block in practice, and one from a steam-powered fleet on the steam block, but the syllabus as written covers both. That&#8217;s worth knowing before you assume your course will skip whichever one doesn&#8217;t match your last ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1717\" height=\"916\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.indosearch.in\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MEO-Class-IV-syllabus-quick-facts-and-STCW-function-breakdown.png\" alt=\"MEO Class-IV syllabus quick facts and STCW function breakdown\" class=\"wp-image-3076 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.indosearch.in\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MEO-Class-IV-syllabus-quick-facts-and-STCW-function-breakdown.png 1717w, https:\/\/www.indosearch.in\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MEO-Class-IV-syllabus-quick-facts-and-STCW-function-breakdown-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/www.indosearch.in\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MEO-Class-IV-syllabus-quick-facts-and-STCW-function-breakdown-1024x546.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.indosearch.in\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MEO-Class-IV-syllabus-quick-facts-and-STCW-function-breakdown-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/www.indosearch.in\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MEO-Class-IV-syllabus-quick-facts-and-STCW-function-breakdown-1536x819.png 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1717px) 100vw, 1717px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1717px;
