MIT TAs have Office Hours, MITNA volunteers, and dockstaff have Dock Hours! During dock hours, our volunteers and staff will generally be available to help improve your skills, and, if you’re ready, they’ll administer the Provisional Rating Test. You can ask dockstaff or approved volunteers for testing and coaching at any time. We’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Scheduled Dock Hours are when we’re most likely to be available. Dock Hours are never 100% guaranteed, especially when the weather is “sporty,” or the Pav is busy. -Thanks for your understanding!

For your Helmsman test, there are no scheduled dock hours. You’ll need to be here when the conditions are suitable -i.e., consistently over 18 knots of wind.
