MEETS - STCW FOR DECK CADETS

  Code No 9001

This is a CD-Rom based training package for Deck Cadets undergoing training at sea.

STCW requires cadets to follow a recognised and structured program of training whilst they are at sea. This makes best use of their time on board, the objectives of which are:

  • to gain the necessary knowledge through practical training, and
  • to demonstrate the competences required of an officer in charge of a navigational watch

Whilst at sea, most cadets will use a recognised “training record”, which lists tasks to be undertaken and competences to be demonstrated. The record book produced by the International Shipping Federation (ISF) is used most widely.

MEETS - STCW, is designed to help cadets as they progress through their training record book by providing in-depth references to the tasks listed in their record book. So MEETS - STCW forms an encyclopaedia of information with which a cadet should be familiar by the end of his or her qualifying sea service.

MEETS - STCW is linked to each and every task listed in the ISF’s “On Board Training Record Book for Deck Cadets”. This amounts to over 360 tasks. This is an extensive reference package.

Each and every task is supported by a training module, created by a panel of experienced master mariners all of whom have supervised deck cadets during their sea service.

Each training module contains:

  • practical training descriptions
  • background information and knowledge
  • safety issue reminders
  • answers to “how to” questions
  • a list of reference material
  • assignments
  • self assessment questions

All tasks included in the ISF’s On Board Training Record Book for Deck Cadets (over 360 tasks), deal with STCW functions:

  • Navigation at the Operational Level
  • Cargo Handling and Stowage at the Operational Level (including cargo handling and stowage - Tasks for Tankers)
  • Controlling the Operation of the Ship and Care for Persons on Board at the Operational Level

All the tasks within these functions are easily accessed using an index structure which lists the hierachy of competences as shown in the record book.
