When you are ready to take the online Vessel Examiner exam at http://ntc.cgaux.org/. This is an open book exam and you will get your results as soon as you complete the exam. You can retake this exam as many times as you need if you don't pass it the first time around. This online exam has 30 questions with a three hour time limit and the passing score is 90%. The exam has multiple choice questions with four possible answers; however, only one answer is the best answer.

Supervised Vessel Examination 

Once you successfully pass the online Vessel Examiner Exam, you will need to reach out to your flotilla Member Training or Vessel Examiner staff officers, to aid you in locating a current/qualified Vessel Examiner to assist you in the next step of the process. You then will need to complete five (5) supervised Vessel Safety Checks using the ANSC 7012 under the watchful eye of a qualified Vessel Examiner.

After that your VE qualification will be entered into AUX Data II and then you can  start doing vessel exams on your own.
