AWO Mariner Workforce Forum: Credential Application Processes from A to Z

Virtual
December 17, 2024

Join us for AWO's next Mariner Workforce Forum to learn best practices for navigating the merchant mariner credential (MMC) and medical certificate application processes.

Whether you're a mariner submitting your own applications, or an AWO member employee supporting many mariners through the application process, it can be challenging to understand and keep pace with changes to the U.S. Coast Guard's MMC and medical certificate processes. In this forum, leadership and staff from the National Maritime Center (NMC) will walk through the complete application processes for merchant mariner credentials and medical certificates, provide updates on new communication and submission options, and share tips and best practices for minimizing errors and speeding processing times.

AWO's Mariner Workforce Forums bring together member and industry experts to share practical knowledge on mariner recruitment, retention, and advancement. Forums include Q&A with the presenters and opportunities for members to share their challenges/successes, ask questions to other members, and provide input on topics for future Forums.
