ONBOARD TRAINING BY DESIGN

Code No 489

Time: 16 Mins

Organizing and carrying out training programmes is a skilful job; it requires an ability to assess on board training resources, identify who needs training and by whom this can best be provided.

There are some simple techniques which will help the training officer to acquire the necessary skills quickly and useful techniques and tips as well as providing forms to help with the appraisal, organisation and scheduling of tasks.

ONBOARD TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT - STCW ‘95

This programme examines the process of training and evaluation on board ship for both a deck and an engineering cadet as they acquire the required competence to fit them for a job as an Officer. The importance of maintaining an accurate training log is stressed as this, and other evidence, will be used for the subsequent assessment of the candidate, usually at an on-shore establishment, which could lead to the issuing of a certificate of competence.
