About this course
Meteorology defeats most candidates not because it is hard but because it is usually taught as disconnected facts. This programme teaches it the way practitioners use it: pressure systems first, then the weather they produce, then the decisions they force on a bridge.
You will read synoptic charts fluently, understand what numerical models can and cannot see, and practise turning a forecast into a routing decision — the exact chain the oral examiner asks you to walk.
The module set supports OOW through Master Unlimited orals, yachtmaster exams and anyone who wants to stop being surprised by the sky.
Who it’s for
Deck officers at any level who want command of meteorology — for orals, for certificate modules, or for safer passage decisions.
What you’ll be able to do
- Read a synoptic chart and brief the weather from it
- Explain frontal theory and storm behaviour clearly
- Turn forecasts into routing and avoidance decisions
- Answer any meteorology oral prompt with confidence

Testimonials
Candidates who sat Meteorology
“The meteorology module changed how I brief my own watch. I can actually read a chart now instead of just quoting the forecast, and it showed in the oral.”
