When making an application to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) for a Certificate of Competency as a Coxswain they will require 2 essential components.
1. Your Coxswain course completion certificate and
2. Evidence of sea service experience.
Providing evidence of sea service experience can be done in one of two ways:
Firstly if you have the required 240 days (NC1) or 60 days (NC2) of sea time then you can provide a letter or Statutory Declaration (a legal document available at any newsagent) outling this experience.

For a COX NC1 Certificate the 240 days of sea time (Can be 100% recreational or a combination of recreation and/or commercial) is reduced to 30 days commercial with a completed AMSA Coxswain Task Book.
