The Coast Guard found that incomplete and improperly prepared application forms were and continue to be the number one reason for credentialing delays at the NMC.

To help correct this problem the Coast Guard NMC now has trained maritime academies and other maritime schools to act on their behalf. In November 2009, the NMC is offering their Maritime Credential Agent (MCA) Training to the member schools of the Marine Education Standards Council (MESC).

The concept of this  “Trusted Agent” type  training will assist the MESC schools to help any local mariner through the credentialing process by assisting with the preparation of all required forms, quality control of the application package to the NMC and ensuring the application and all other required documents are fully and correctly completed.

MCA status will allow these Coast Guard Authorized schools to help you prepare your credential and license applications faster.
