AI Knowledge Coach
Three operating modes in one tool — coaching, testing, and full mock oral simulation. The coach draws from a real examiner question bank containing hundreds of verified questions across all STCW topic areas, calibrated to your chosen authority — selected above.
Mode A
Knowledge Coaching
Examiner-style Q&A that draws out what you know, probes gaps, and builds fluency. No scoring — pure coaching dialogue.
Type to start:
"Coach me on passage planning"
"Ask me about meteorology"
"Coach me on COLREGS Rule 17"
Mode B
Knowledge Testing
Formal topic assessment under exam conditions. 8–12 questions, scored against examiner standard, with a topic debrief and readiness verdict.
Type to start:
"Test me on radar and ARPA"
"Run a stability test"
"Mixed test across Functions 1 and 3"
Mode C
Mini Mock
A shorter, conversational run-through of all four sections — GK, COLREGS, Lights, and Buoyage. Useful as a quick gut-check. For the complete graded simulation with a formal Pass/Refer verdict, use the dedicated Full Mock Oral (Tool 17) below.
Type to start:
"Start my mock oral exam"
"Am I ready to sit the oral?"
"Run a full OOW oral simulation"
