Cook's Ticket is authorised by the Danish Maritime
Authority (Søfartsstyrelsen) to carry out the ship's
cook assessment under MLC 2006, Standard A3.2.
The entire assessment is completed remotely: online
modules, a practical cooking assessment submitted on
video, and a proctored exam with biometric
verification. Candidates complete it from wherever
they are, including on board. No travel, no classroom,
no time off work.
Outcome: candidates receive a Certificate of
Completion from Cook's Ticket. The Ship's Cook
Certificate itself is issued by the Danish Maritime
Authority on separate application (855 DKK government
fee, paid directly to the authority).
Recognition: the Danish Ship's Cook Certificate has
been confirmed in writing by the UK MCA, the Bahamas
Maritime Authority, the Hong Kong Shipping Registry
and the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry. Singapore's
MPA accepts ship's cook certificates issued by any
MLC state, including Denmark.
Entry requirements: a recognised cooking
qualification, documented sea service, valid STCW
basic safety training including Security Awareness,
and a maritime medical certificate. Full details at
cookscertificate.com — please check these before
enrolling.
Fee: USD 899. The DMA government fee is separate.
