  Previously Electrical Officers course were not standardized and so DG Shipping approved Institutes called it with different names.
  Presently Electro-technical Officer Course or ETO Course is the one mentioned in STCW 2010.
  
  Electrical Officer have no hierarchy so its one and the same thing. I would recommend Indian CDC if possible as then you would have lesser limitation.
  
  As for the post being mandatory, well it is not! STCW have laid down rules for the rank training which was missing before, and most companies have Electrical Officer onboard. However E/O are not required for Minimum Manning and hence some companies do not have such Merchant Navy rank onboard. Would recommend to go through
  

  1. ETO as a career
  2. BP academy OR Coimbatore MC for ETO course
  3. Join Merchant Navy India FAQ
  4. ETO Course in India
  Best of luck friend.
