Under 46 CFR §11.329, an applicant seeking an STCW endorsement as Officer in Charge of an Engineering Watch (OICEW) who does NOT complete an approved training program must provide evidence of how much seagoing service in the engine department?

Why C is correct

46 CFR §11.329(a)(1)(i) requires 36 months of seagoing service in the engine department for applicants who do not complete an approved training program. The alternative path under §11.329(a)(1)(ii) requires completion of an approved training program with at least 12 months of seagoing service.
