supplied on CD-ROM and students follow comprehensive on-screen instructions to
get started. The program contains text with (English language) voiceover, still
photographs, video clips and animations.
Course Duration
Guided Learning Hours (GLHs) include the time needed to follow the program on the computer, plus
time needed for additional reading and research as well as the time needed to
complete the assessments.
Chemical Tanker Safety Training Course:- 20 GLHs
Oil Tanker Safety Training Course:- 40 GLHs
Liquified Gas Tanker Safety Training Course:- 40 GLHs
Assessment
The assessment strategy is flexible and will depend on the requirements of the
Approving Flag State. The course includes written assignments for the students to
complete at the end of each Module. These assignments are compiled in a Portfolio
which is returned to the UK for independent third party assessment.
If Flag States do not require this level of authentication, then the computer-based
assessment within the course may be sufficient.
Course Approval
Course Approval from several Flag States. Please refer to web site for details or call
our sales team.
Certification
On successful completion of a Course, Videotel will issue Flag State approved
certificates.
Progression
On successful completion of a Course, candidates would be expected to consolidate
their knowledge by performing their role on board ship.
