Ready to dive in?
Of course! If you’re not sure whether you need a full prep programme, a few targeted sessions or just access to our eLearning, just drop us a message on WhatsApp for some free guidance.
We’ll help you choose a sensible, affordable route rather than pushing you towards more support than you need.
We help over 1,000 candidates a year prepare for their oral exams, and many choose Whitehorse instead of attending a traditional oral prep course.
A fixed course may appear more structured, but it also means moving at the pace of the course and the other candidates, who may be more or less prepared than you. Our flexible approach allows your preparation to be built around your needs and budget, while still giving you access to structured prep materials, study buddies and guidance right up to the day of your exam.
We offer prep for all Engine and ETO oral exams, from small vessel to unlimited engineering tickets, as well as ETO tickets. If you're not sure whether we can support you, please drop us a message on WhatsApp for a free, honest assessment of the best approach for you.
It's true that we started with Deck candidates back in 2017 but we have been offering oral exam prep for Engine and ETO candidates for several years now, via our up-to-date eLearning materials and our team of expert Chief Engineer Unlimited tutors

Yes. Our prep is designed to be flexible and built around your timeline, budget and availability. You can study through eLearning in your own time and book private sessions around your schedule.
Although Whitehorse is best known for MCA oral exam preparation, we also support candidates preparing for oral exams in a wide range of other jurisdictions.
Most oral exams are built around international regulations, best practice and sound professional judgement, so our experienced tutors can still help you build knowledge and explain it clearly. We also have dedicated tutors based around the world with CoCs from different administrations.
If you are preparing for a non-MCA oral, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll give you an honest view on whether or not we are able to help.
We may be able to arrange in-person sessions if you live near one of our tutors. Please drop us a message on WhatsApp to discuss options.
Having said that, almost all of our candidates choose online prep because it is usually more effective, more flexible and more affordable. It also saves travel time and allows us to match you with the most suitable tutor, rather than simply the nearest one.
