It is for logging seatime, regardless of if it is for a course, work or just logging hours.

 Have a look on the AMSA website, you can down load a sea time form. I have just had my seatime approved using stat dec's. What ticket are you going for??

 Not going for any tickets yet, but eventually MC5. 

 

Looking for deckhand work and if cant find anything metro area I will probably go up North. I know that a ROPES booklet can cut your seatime by 50% so just want to get one so im ready to go as soon as I find work.

Going for a coxswains is a waste of time and money if you are planning to go for the Master Class 5 as soon as you have the required amount of sea time. Not sure if it has changed now but was a minimum of 30 months when I got mine some many years ago.
Get you sea time book regularly signed and stamped by DoT because old sea time isn't recognised like it used to be
