    Get a job on a yacht that needs no license and submit all his qualifications and seatime to the MCA for an Initial Assesment Letter which can take 6 to 10 months to process. English Translations of his papers will be required.

    MCA is Maritime and Coastguard Agency- They are the issuing authority for Yacht Engineer licences.
