Frequently asked questions

  • Is this an MCA-approved course?

    No. It's a pre-study and revision course to use before and after your MCA-approved GSK course. It doesn't replace that course and gives no exemption or entitlement to sit the exam.

  • Do I still need to attend an approved course?

    Yes. To sit the GSK written exam you must complete the GSK course at an MCA-approved training provider (at least 5 days / 30 hours of formal instruction).

  • How long do I get access?

    Choose 30 days (£70), 60 days (£100) or 90 days (£150) at checkout. Your access starts the day you enrol, and it is a one-off payment, not a subscription.

  • Does it work on my phone?

    Yes. The videos, notes, quizzes, flashcards and trainers work on a phone, tablet or laptop, so you can study on a crossing, in the crew mess or on leave.

  • Is the content up to date?

    Regulatory content was checked against current sources in October 2026. Rules change, so the course shows you where to check the current editions before your exam.

  • What do I need?

    A notebook, a pencil, a ruler and a calculator. The exam is written, so you'll be drawing and writing as you go.
