46 CFR §10.227(i)(1) states that when a deck officer endorsement has been expired for more than 12 months, the applicant must demonstrate continued professional knowledge by completing a course approved for this purpose or by passing the complete examination for original issue of the endorsement, rather than the standard renewal professional requirements of §10.227(e).
