For class four and second officer levels

If you are in this level, it is easier for you to obtain an Indian equivalent to COC, as you do not need to attend any oral exams or course. There are a few documents that you would need to show to the authorities:

· Letter of recommendation from a sponsoring company

· Copy of your STCWC course

· 2 photographs

· Copy of your passport

· And CDC

Carry your originals with you, along with a demand draft drawn in favor of MMD, Mumbai or Chennai. You will also need to fill and submit a form that you can obtain from MMD. After this, you will receive a blue copy in the evening, which will be valid for 3 months. A hard copy will also be issued within this time period.
