General Ship Knowledge is aimed at deckhands seeking their first MCA qualification, the Officer of the Watch certificate.
It covers a wide area of material and some pre course reading is highly recommended. The course is all theory with an examination on the last day lasting 2 hours.
The most useful subjects to review before attending are meteorology and stability. There are a number of good basic met books available which would be worth reading. “Weather at Sea” by David Houghton, published by Fernhurst is a good introduction. On Stability, “Simple Ship Stability” by Alfred Carver, published by Fairplay Publications is the best book for starting out in this subject
