QMED-Oiler Course Update
Beacon Maritime Training recently received guidance from the U.S. Coast Guard requiring revisions to the current QMED-Oiler course delivery structure, including updates related to delivery methods and examination procedures.
The current course approval remains active during the Coast Guard’s correction period. The U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed that course completion certificates issued within 90 days of April 29, 2026, will continue to be accepted for credentialing purposes.
Currently enrolled students are strongly encouraged to complete the course requirements no later than July 28, 2026. Certificates issued after this date cannot be guaranteed to be accepted under the current course approval structure.
Students with questions regarding course progress or scheduling are encouraged to contact Beacon Maritime Training directly.
