SETS (SEAFARERS EVALUATION AND TRAINING SYSTEM) VERSION 6000
Code No 9000
Videotel is pleased to announce its support of OCIMF's Tanker Management and Self-Assessment (TMSA) programme; a comprehensive tool to help ship operators measure and improve their management systems.
This package is designed to test the knowledge of seafarers by asking them
questions from a very large question database. The questions are based on the
candidate’s position and are divided into appropriate subject areas. The resultant
evaluation is aimed at assisting company personnel and recruitment departments to
make an assessment of an individual’s knowledge, skills and competence.
Currently the question database holds over 6000 questions (which is expanding), and
includes questions for:
Deck & Engineering Officers, all ranks
Deck & Engineering Ratings
The questions are divided into STCW level i.e, support, operational and
management.
Many questions focus on safety awareness and where appropriate questions are
linked to pictures and diagrams. No computer experience is necessary. For the
candidate, the system operates in two modes:
Tutorial Mode - there are two chances to answer each question, after which the
correct answer is given
Test Mode - there is only one chance to answer each question and the answers
are not given, but saved for later analysis by the instructor
In the test mode questions appear randomly and within each question the multiple
choice answers appear in random order. The instructor, in the Administration Mode
can view and print test results according to candidate’s name, set test time limits
and test type. A separate module is available allowing user editing of questions and
input of new questions, otherwise Videotel offers a service to add customised test
questions. The instructor has the facility to control the test conditions and has
access to comprehensive test reports. The program runs under Windows and
requires sufficient hard disk memory to store all the question databases.
