This is my own current ticket, Chief Mate 3000 in 2024, and I've worked as officer and chief officer on yachts from 50m to 140m since. My OOW came via a cadetship rather than the yacht-only ladder. See the full Chief Mate requirements →

Chief Mate CoC is a qualification or exam-preparation course on the deck officer ladder, part of the route towards a higher deck Certificate of Competency (CoC).
Deck crew working towards their next rank, from deckhand up through OOW, Chief Mate and Master, take this depending on where they sit on the ladder already. Exact eligibility depends on sea time and existing tickets.
Format and length vary by provider, from short orals-prep intensives to longer written-exam or full-time courses. Compare listings for the delivery style and pace that suits you.
