I'm thinking about Seamen having 1 qualification (since everyone is trained for their speciality, especially in sub), NCO having 2, and Officers 3.
I know I could make all crew NCOs and Officers...but...  It'd make crew management bit more interesting too, IMHO. Now there is no difference using machinist on bridge or helm and vise versa.

Use SH3Cmdr. You can award NCO's two quals and crewmen one.
HOWEVER, pls be advised that whilst SH3 will recognise these extra quals, they will have no effect on crew performance (an SH3 limitation). From the SH3Cmdr readme...

A common question raised through forums has been "will my Crew Manager changes be recognised within Silent Hunter III?". To answer this question:
- awarding *any* qualifications to officers impacts compartment efficiency as if they were awarded via Silent Hunter III;
- awarding the *first* qualification to a Chief Warrant Officer impacts compartment efficiency as if awarded via Silent Hunter III;
- awarding subsequent qualifications to a Chief Warrant Officer, whilst being recognised in Silent Hunter III, has no effect in Silent Hunter III;
- awarding a qualification to a Petty Officer impacts compartment efficiency as if awarded via Silent Hunter III;
- awarding a qualification to a seamen, whilst being recognised in Silent Hunter III, has no effect in Silent Hunter III;
- awarding any medal or badge has the same effect as if awarded via Silent Hunter III;
- promoting/demoting has the same effect as if awarded via Silent Hunter III (although there is no demotion via Silent Hunter III);
So, only qualifications awarded to seamen or extra qualifications awarded to Chief Warrant Officers are, despite being recognised in the game, not effective in the game.
Now, whilst these qualifications are not effective in Silent Hunter III, they are still handy "markers". Also, I know of some people who believe that despite not being recognised towards compartment efficiency, Silent Hunter III tends to align these qualified seamen to their respective compartments, but I haven't tested that myself.
