At end of Rule 20 (a)-(i) :——

(1.) On and after January 1st, 1915, the applicant must have served at sea for 18 months, with a second-class certificate of competency or service on regular watch on the main engines or boilers of a foreign-going steamship of not less than 99 nominal horse power as senior engineer in charge of the whole watch; or

(2.) have served at sea for 27 months with a second class certificate of competency or service as first engineer of a home trade steamer of not less than 99 nominal horse power; or 3 years with a second class certificate of com- petency or service as second engineer of a home trade steamer of not less than 99 nominal horse power; or

(4.) possess, or be entitled to, a first class certificate of service.

A candidate for either a Second Class or a First Class Certificate who, within two years from the date of application to be examined, has attended an approved course comprising general mathematical and scientific instruction at a Technical School recognised by the Board of Trade as suitable for the training of Marine Engineers, will be allowed to couut time so spent as equivalent to sea service in the ratio of three months at the Technical School to two months at sea. Time so spent cannot be accepted as equivalent to more than one-sixth of the total sea service required for either certificate, but a candidate who has been allowed to count such time on examination for a second class certificate, will not be debarred from counting similar subsequent time on examination for a first class certificate.

In every case in which an allowance is made for time spent at a Marine Technical School, the candidate will be required to produce the Principal's Certificate for continuous and regular attendance at all the approved classes and for satisfactory progress.
