Subj: GUIDANCE ON COAST GUARD ACCEPTED TRAINING RECORD BOOKS
Ref: (a) International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification
and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended
(b) Federal Register Vol. 62,
No. 123, pg. 34505, dated June 26, 1997
(c) Navigation and Vessel Inspection
Circular (NVIC) 6-97, "Policy on Qualified Instructors and Designated Examiners
Who Train or Assess the Competence of Merchant Mariners"
1. PURPOSE.
a. This Circular establishes guidance on the use of Coast Guard-accepted training record books for meeting the requirements of Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), section 10.304 ("Substitution of training for required service, and use of training record books").
b. Specifically, this Circular provides: (1) model training record books, which may be used without further application for approval or acceptance by the Coast Guard; and (2) procedures for submitting record books, which are different from the basic model, for Coast Guard acceptance.
2. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED. None
3. BACKGROUND.
a. In 1993, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) embarked on a comprehensive revision of the Standards for Training Certification and Watchkeeping - 1978 (STCW) to establish the highest practical standards of competence for mariners and to reduce human error as a major cause of marine casualties. On July 7, 1995, a conference of Parties to the STCW adopted a package of amendments to the Convention which establishes requirements for qualification of masters, officers, watchkeeping and other crew personnel on seagoing merchant vessels operating outside the boundary line and the responsibilities of companies that operate such vessels. The STCW Amendments entered into force on February 1, 1997 (see reference (a)).

b. STCW Regulation II/1 (officer of the navigational watch) requires
candidates for certification to have "approved seagoing service of not
less than one year as part of an approved training program which includes
on-board training which meets the requirements of Section A-II/1 of the
STCW Code and is documented in an approved training record book, or, otherwise,
have approved seagoing service of not less than three years" (emphasis
added).
c. STCW Regulation III/1 (officer in charge of an engineering
watch or designated duty engineer) requires that candidates for certification
have "completed not less than six months seagoing service in the engine
department" and have "completed approved education and training of at least
30 months. This is to include on-board training and documented in
an approved training record book, meeting the standards of competence specified
in Section A-III/1 of the STCW Code" (emphasis added).
d. Section A-I/6 of the STCW Code ("Training and Assessment")
provides for on-board, in-service assessment of competence by qualified
instructors, supervisors, or assessors.
e. The Coast Guard published an Interim Final Rule on June 26,
1997, in the Federal Register (reference (b)) which revised the regulations
in Title 46, CFR Parts 10 and 12 to implement the requirements of the 1995
STCW Amendments to ensure that U.S. merchant mariners and vessel owners/operators
conform to the new provisions. Title 46 CFR, Section 10.304(e) and
(f) require the use of a Coast Guard-accepted training record book for
candidates for STCW certificates or endorsements as deck officers or engineer
officers who commence their training or sea service on or after August
1, 1998.
4. DISCUSSION.
a. The Coast Guard will be requiring formal record keeping of
demonstrated competencies and formalized training as part of an approved
program of training, in addition to approved sea service and examinations,
as criteria for issuing STCW certificates and endorsements. The following
question-and-answer format is intended to provide guidance to:
(1) assist individuals and/or training programs in determining whether they have compiled an appropriate document for the purpose of verifying the performance of training and assessment functions;
(2) enable those who offer training to merchant mariners an appropriate record keeping system to ensure that qualified individuals can verify that all skill demonstrations and knowledge have been provided; and
(3) assist those who conduct monitoring of training programs under a quality standards system in evaluating whether the program is achieving its stated objectives and meeting regulatory requirements.
b. The following questions and answers provide information on "Training Record Books."
(1) What is a "Training Record Book?"
A "Training Record Book" (TRB) is required by 46 CFR 10.404 (e) for certification as officer in charge of a navigational watch on ships of 500 gross tonnage or more, and 46 CFR 10.304 (f) certification of officers in charge of an engineering watch in a manned engine room or as a designated duty engineer in a periodically unmanned engine room, to adequately document systematic practical training and experience in the tasks, duties, and responsibilities of an officer in charge of a watch.
(2) What must be provided in a TRB?
All TRBs, at a minimum, must contain the following items listed
in 46 CFR 10.304 (g):
(a) The identity of the candidate.
(b) The tasks to be performed or the skills to be demonstrated, with reference to the standards of competence set forth in the tables of the appropriate sections in part A of the STCW code.
(c) The criteria to be used in determining that the tasks or skills have been performed properly, again with reference to the standards of competence set forth in the tables of the appropriate sections in part A of the STCW code.
(d) A place for a qualified instructor to indicate by his or her initials that the candidate has received training in the proper performance of the task or skill.
(e) A place for the a designated examiner to indicate by his or her initials that the candidate has successfully completed a practical demonstration and has proved competent in the task or skill under the criteria, when assessment of competence is to be documented in the record books.
(f) The identity of each qualified instructor, including any Coast Guard license or document held, and the instructor’s signature.
(g) The identity of each designated examiner, when any assessment of
competence is recorded, including any Coast Guard license or document held,
and the examiner’s signature confirming that his or her initials certify
that he or she has witnessed the practical demonstration of a particular
task or skill by the candidate.
In general, the following items will be needed to supplement the items
listed above and include the tasks and corresponding criteria for satisfactory
performance as a watchstander for either a navigational watch or an engine
room watch. In addition each TRB is to include the candidate’s personal
history page with photo ID, ship service record, ship data sheet, shipboard
training officer’s review of training progress, an inspection of record
book form for the company’s training and senior officers, an introduction
(describing guidance in the use, scope, and objectives of the TRB and the
training program) and guidance for those directly involved with the candidate’s
training and evaluation (see enclosures 1 and 2).
(3) Has a format been developed for the layout and presentation
of the TRBs?
Enclosure (1) is a model training record book for certification
as officer in charge of a navigational watch for use onboard vessels where
a complete training program has been approved and established. Enclosure
(2) is a model training record book for certification as officer in charge
of an engineering watch or designated duty engineer for use onboard vessels
where a complete training program has been approved and established.
These enclosures are based on the respective models developed by the
International Maritime Organization. They are provided with supplemental
guidance on instructional and assessment techniques and arrangements to
be taken into account when using the training record book for on-board
instruction and assessment.
(4) Will every training organization be required to submit the
exact same contents?
Any training record book which follows the model is Coast Guard-accepted
for purposes of meeting the requirements of 46 CFR 10.304(e), provided
the training program in which it is used and is approved under 46 CFR 10.302
(Coast Guard course approval) or 10.309 (Coast Guard accepted training
other than Coast Guard approved courses). In addition, any training
record book which conforms with the model TRB is Coast Guard-accepted for
purposes of meeting the requirements of 46 CFR 10.304(f), provided the
training program in which it is used and is approved under 46 CFR 10.302
(Coast Guard course approval) or 10.309 (Coast Guard accepted training
other than Coast Guard approved courses).
However, this should not be interpreted as every training organization being required to conduct its training program in exactly the same manner as another.
(5) Can a Training Record Book be developed to meet the needs
of a specific training program and used in place of the IMO models?
Yes, all training record books need not conform in every respect
with the models in either enclosure (1) or (2). Variations from these
models may be accepted by the Coast Guard to suit the circumstances of
training programs which are adapted to special classes of vessel or limited
areas of training and assessment, or are otherwise justified by the nature
and purpose of the training objectives.
(6) What are the required qualifications for the on board instructor/assessor referred to in the training record book?
The requirements and qualifications for instructors and assessors are discussed in NVIC 6-97, (reference (c)).
(7) Will the use of the TRBs in existing training programs, such
as the maritime academies, require significant changes?
Existing academy training programs are not considered to be significantly
affected by the use of the TRBs. Primarily, the TRB will be a document,
when properly completed, that will be used to indicate that all training
and the competent demonstration of appropriate skills has been accomplished.
(8) The use of the TRB appears to be fairly simple, in
which case, something that simple must have some requirement that will
end in producing a problem?
When the TRBs are used in a training program, each instructor and/or
assessor will need to develop the specific criteria for the conduct of
instruction and/or assessment reflected by the guidelines presented in
the model TRBs. One perceived problem may be related to the specific
criteria that will need to be developed by each instructor and/or assessor.
There is concern that the same level of assessment may not be uniformly
applied and as a result consistency of assessment may be diminished.
This concern can be minimized by each training organization developing
specific criteria by which students will be assessed, rather than relying
upon each individual assessor having to develop their own standards.
(9) Can the task of developing assessment criteria be that difficult?
Enclosure (3) is an example of how the base criteria for determining
competency (as provided in the IMO model Training Record Book) has been
expanded into a specific criteria of assessment for determining the competent
conduct to be demonstrated by the student. Although the development
of the criteria is not necessarily difficult, it is the extent of detail
that will become the focus of a lack of agreement. Once enclosure
(3) has been reviewed, some will argue that the criteria is too detailed,
while others will argue that there is insufficient detail provided by the
criteria. With that set of arguments being anticipated, each program
should establish a uniform set of criteria for all who will be required
to conduct assessment of their trainees.
(10) Can the specific criteria of assessment be considered as
a Training Record Book?
Again, it should be reiterated that a specimen for an alternative training
record book may be submitted, along with an explanation of how and why
the alternative training record book is different from the models provided
in enclosure (1) or (2). When a training organization submits a complete
set of specific criteria for assessment and, corresponding to all demonstrable
skills as laid out in the respective IMO model TRB, it will be given significant
consideration for acceptance. The included explanation will also
need to address how the remaining criteria, listed in the IMO models, is
to be acknowledged.
(11) Where should the Training Record Books be submitted for acceptance?
All Training Record Books, adopted directly from the IMO models are
Coast Guard - accepted and need not be submitted for further consideration.
Where an organization may prefer to submit an alternative training record
book, the specimens are to be submitted, along with an appropriate letter
explaining how and why the training record book differs from the models
provided in enclosure (1) or (2) to the:
National Maritime Center, Director, NMC-4B,
4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 510,
Arlington, VA 22203-1804,
or for additional information call (703) 235-0014.
(a) Evaluation. The National Maritime Center will:
(1) evaluate the alternative record book submitted;
(2) consult with the applicant, when necessary, to clarify any details;
and
(3) issue a letter to the applicant with a determination of whether
or not the proposed alternative record book can be "Coast Guard accepted."
(b) Recognition.
(1) Once the determination is issued that a particular alternative
record book is in fact "Coast Guard approved", it may be used in the context
of an approved training program to meet the requirements of 46 CFR 10.304(e)
or (f), as appropriate.
(2) The Coast Guard OCMI will accept valid, properly-completed training and assessment record books which conform with the models in enclosures (1) or (2) as evidence that the candidate named in the book has met the requirement of 46 CFR 10.302(e) or (f), as appropriate.

1. The Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping (STW), at its twenty-eighth session, prepared the draft IMO Model training record book for candidates for certification as an officer in charge of a navigational watch given at annex.
2. The STW Sub-Committee noted the draft text of the model training record book must be seen as a model only which has been developed as guidance to assist Parties in preparing their own training record book for use as part of an approved training programme. The content of the model training record book follows the structure of the STCW Convention and the STCW Code. However, nothing prevents a Party from adopting its own format or specifying assignments in less or greater detail.
3. Assessment of the competence of the seafarers concerned is included in the model training record book. However, as the STW Sub-Committee could not reach consensus, the on-board assessment in relation to the training record books will be further considered at the twenty-ninth session of the STW Sub-Committee (January 1998).
4. Parties should be aware that it is their responsibility to
ensure that instructors, supervisors and assessors are appropriately qualified
as required by section A-l/6, paragraph 3 of the STCW Code and that they
comply with the quality standards in section A-1/8 of the STCW Code.
INTRODUCTION
1. This model Training Record Book is developed as guidance to assist Parties in developing their own Training Record Book which may be used as part of an approved training programme. Further, the Training Record Book allows for the recording of assessment by qualified assessors of satisfactorily demonstrated competencies. The content of this book follows the structure given in section A-Il/1 of the STCW Code. Nothing should prevent a Party from adopting its own format or specifying the assignments presented in section A-Il/1 of the STCW Code in greater detail. Each company has to satisfy requirements relevant to training, as outlined in regulation I/III of the STCW Convention and Section A-l/14 of the STCW Code.
2. This model Training Record Book details the practical training which should be completed prior to certification as Officer in Charge of a Navigational Watch. It will serve both as a guide to the practical training which should be undertaken during the mandatory period of seagoing service and as a record of the satisfactory completion of that training on board.
3. Each trainee will require his/her own training record book and should be responsible for its safe keeping. Masters and shipboard training officers will also need to consult it to facilitate planning and organization of the training.
4. Those carrying out instruction or assessment' activities as part of an approved in-service training programme, either on board or ashore, should appreciate how and where the particular skill or ability being taught or assessed might best be conducted and related to all other skills or abilities required to achieve competency at the operational level. Where assessment is used in this document, it refers solely to the assessment of the trainee's practical ability to carry out the tasks given in the Training Record Book as demonstrated. Types of assessment include:
.1 Approved in-service experience;
.2 Approved training ship experience;
---------------------------
Instructors and assessors shall be qualified in accordance with regulation
1/6 of the STCW Convention and the corresponding parts of the STCW Code.
.3 Approved simulator training, where appropriate;
.4 Approved laboratory equipment training;
.5
Approved fire-fighting training and experience as set out in
section A-Vl/3 of the STCW Code;
.6
Approved training and experience as set out in section A-Vl/2,
paragraphs 1 to 4 of the STCW Code; and
.7 Approved training as set out in section A-VI/4, paragraphs 1 to 3 of the STCW Code.
5. No on-board training or assessment should take place unless
such activities can be carried out without interfering with the normal
operation of the ship, jeopardizing safety of life at sea, or posing a
risk of marine pollution. Instructors and assessors should be able to devote
their time and attention exclusively to the instruction and assessment
activity at hand, or if unable to do so, should defer the activity until
a more suitable time.
SCOPE
6. The aim of the practical training is for trainees to:
OBJECTIVE
7.1 The trainees will acquire basic seamanship skills and a practical awareness of the need to follow safe working practices. They will also -be able to keep a navigational watch safely, in accordance with the relevant regulations and recommendations.
7.2 The aim of the Training Record Book is three fold, namely:
APPROVED PROGRAMME OF ON-BOARD TRAINING
8.1 Candidates for certification under regulation II/1, other than those who have approved seagoing service of not less than three years, are required to have completed an "approved program of on board training". This program of onboard training is to form part of an overall program of education and training approved by the Party under whose authority the certificate or endorsement is to be issued. The programme of on-board training is required to ensure that the candidate receives systematic practical training and experience which is closely supervised and monitored by qualified officers and adequately documented in an approved Training Record Book. The regulation requires that officers supervising and monitoring and assessing the on board training are appropriately qualified.
8.2 Each general training activity specified in the approved training
record book is required to have been completed by the candidate and supervised,
monitored, assessed and documented as being satisfactorily completed in
accordance with the requirements and recommendations of the STCW Code.
See regulations I/6, I/8 and II/1 of the STCW Convention and the corresponding parts of the STCW Code.
Guidance for on-board instructors.
1. Before giving instruction in a particular skill or ability for the purpose of initialing this training record book (TRB), the instructor should (a) be qualified under the relevant regulations to give such instruction, and (b) determine that the candidate is qualified on the basis of prior experience and/or training, to receive such instruction. The instructor should also review the TRB to identify what training the candidate has already completed, and what training remains to be conducted.
2. In designing an on-board training activity, the instructor should have clear, measurable, training objectives. These should be organized by reference to other related skills and abilities needed by the student to achieve the level of competence being pursued. The training objectives should be approved by the responsible person supervising the training and assessment program.
3. The instructor should conduct training only when the necessary equipment is operational and will be available throughout the training exercise.
4. The instructor should follow an outline, checklist, or training plan which organizes information and instructional activities in a logical and progressive manner.
5. Instructional activities should make effective use of available
teaching media such as
videotape, personal computers, and models.
6. The instructor should ensure the candidate has sufficient opportunities to observe the skill or ability being properly performed. When the skill or ability requires the use of certain shipboard equipment, the instructor should ensure that the candidate is given adequate opportunities for hands-on use of that equipment along with constructive comments directing the candidate to preferred or proper ways of using the equipment.
7. Instruction should include explanations of misuse or improper procedure; problems that may be encountered and proper corrective actions to take; and descriptions of important differences which may exist from ship to ship.
8. The instructor should periodically use a reliable means of assessment to determine that candidate is in fact making progress toward the objectives stated for the instructional activity.
9. When the instructor is inexperienced, arrangements should be made for his or her early training activities to be monitored by the person responsible for supervising the training and assessment program, with the aim of ensuring that training activities are conducted in the most effective manner possible.Guidance for on-board assessors/designated examiners
10. Before assessing the performance of a particular skill or ability for the purpose of initialing this TRB, the assessor should (a) be qualified under the relevant regulations to perform the assessment; and (b) determine that the candidate is qualified on the basis of prior experience and/or training, to be assessed. The assessor should also review the TRB to identify what training and assessment the candidate has already completed, and what training or assessment remains to be conducted.
11. In designing an on-board assessment activity, the assessor should have clear, measurable, assessment objectives. These should be organized by reference to other related skills and abilities needed by the student to achieve the level of competence being pursued. The training objectives should be approved by the person responsible for supervising the training and assessment program.
12. The following guidelines are taken from section B-II/1 of the STCW Code for the conduct of assessment and should be taken into account:
.1 The scope of knowledge is implicit
in the concept of competence. Assessment of competence should, therefore,
encompass more than the immediate technical requirements of the job, the
skills and tasks to be performed, and should reflect the broader aspects
needed to meet the full expectations of competent performance as a ship’s
officer. This includes relevant knowledge, theory principles, and
cognitive skills which, to varying degrees, underpin all levels of competence.
It also encompasses proficiency in what to do, how and when to do it, and
why it should be done. Properly applied, this will help to ensure
that a candidate can:
.1.1 work competently in different ships and across
a range of circumstances;
.1.2 anticipate, prepare for, and deal with contingencies; and .1.3 adapt to new and changing requirements. |
.2 The criteria for evaluating competence (column 4 of table A-II/1 of the STCW Code) identify primarily in outcome terms the essential aspects of competent performance. They are expressed so that assessment of a candidate’s performance can be made against them and should be adequately documented in the training record book.
.3 Evaluation of competence is the process
of:
.3.1 collecting sufficient valid and reliable evidence about
the candidate’s knowledge, understanding and proficiency to
accomplish the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed in column 1 of
table A-II/1; and
.3.2 judging that evidence against the criteria specified in the standard. |
.4 The arrangements for evaluating competence
should be designed to take account of different methods of assessment which
can provide different types of evidence about the candidate’s competence,
e.g.:
.4.1 direct observation of work activities (including seagoing
service);
.4.2 skills/proficiency/competency tests; .4.3 projects and assignments; .4.4 evidence from previous experience; and .4.5 written, oral and computer-based questioning techniques. |
One or more of the first four methods listed should be used to provide evidence of ability, in addition to appropriate questioning techniques to provide evidence of supporting knowledge and understanding.
13. Before conducting the assessment, the assessor should:
.1 familiarize him or herself with the assessment criteria [in column
4 of the relevant tables in section A-II/1 of the STCW Code] to ensure
that the assessment activities will be effective and comprehensive;
.2 develop scenarios which involve a sequence of events that require the candidate to exercise good judgment in a realistic amount of time; that include distracters (such as equipment malfunctions) which test the candidate's ability to react properly to abnormal or emergency circumstances; and that require the candidate to make effective use of all relevant and available human resources, hardware and information. .3 ensure the necessary equipment is operational and will be available throughout the assessment activity; .4 be able to articulate the parameters or thresholds which will, under the circumstances, represent an acceptable level of performance; .5 clearly explain to the candidate the purpose of the activity and the steps he or she is to take during the demonstration of the skill or ability; .6 ensure that the candidate (a) can concentrate on the task(s) at hand; (b) will not receive unauthorized assistance during the assessment process; and (c) is not in a position to "learn the test" by watching the performance of other candidates; .7 inform the candidate as to the scope and depth of knowledge to be assessed, the length of time allowed for the demonstration, and the effect of failing to perform part of the demonstration properly; and establish the candidate's willingness to be assessed under the circumstances presented. |
14. The assessor should continuously observe the candidate during performance of the skill or ability and should only note in the training record book when the performance is acceptable. In the event the candidate does not perform a critical phase of the assessment exercise at an acceptable level of proficiency, assessment should be suspended and should not be conducted until further instruction is provided.
15. Successful or acceptable performance should be based
on the candidate's proved ability to safely perform:
.1 the assigned tasks in accordance with competency criteria identified
in the training record book;
.2 such tasks in a manner which demonstrates that the required level of skill, knowledge and ability was never in serious doubt; and .3 such tasks in a manner which demonstrates sound and professional judgment. |
.1 an action, or lack of action, by the candidate which
required corrective action or intervention by the assessor to prevent injury,
damage, or the development of a hazardous condition;

1. The Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping (STW), at its twenty-eighth session, prepared the draft IMO Model training record book for candidates for certification as an officer in charge of an engineering watch or designated duty officer given at annex.
2 The STW Sub-Committee noted the draft text of the model training record book must be seen as a model only which has been developed as guidance to assist Parties in preparing their own training record book for use as part of an approved training programmer. The content of the model training record book follows the structure of the STCW Convention and the STCW Code. However, nothing prevents a Party from adopting its own format or specifying assignments in less or greater detail.
3. Assessment of the competence of the seafarers concerned is included in the model training record book. However, as the STW Sub-Committee could not reach consensus, the on-board assessment in relation to the training record books will be further considered at the twenty-ninth session of the STW Sub-Committee (January 1998).
4. Parties should be aware that it is their responsibility to
ensure that instructors, supervisors and assessors are appropriately qualified
as required by section A-I/6, paragraph 3 of the STCW Code and that they
comply with the quality standards in section A-I/8 of the STCW Code.
INTRODUCTION
1. This model Training Record Book is developed as guidance to assist Parties in developing their own training record book which may be used as part of an approved training programmer. The content of this book follows the structure of the STCW Convention given in section A-III/1 of the STCW Code. Nothing should prevent a Party from adopting its own format or spec specifying the assignments presented in section A-III/1 of the STCW Code in greater detail. Each company has responsibilities as outlined in regulation I/14 of the STCW Convention and section A-l/14 of the STCW Code.
2. This model Training Record Book details the practical training whether obtained onboard or ashore which should be completed during the sea-going phase leading to certification as Officer in Charge of an Engineering Watch or Designated Duty Engineer. It will serve both as a guide to the practical training which should be undertaken during the mandatory period of seagoing service and as a record of the satisfactory completion of that training.
3. Each trainee will require his/her own training record book and should be responsible for its safe keeping. Ship engineer officers and supervising engineer officers will also need to consult it to facilitate planning and organization of the training.
4. Those carrying out instruction or assessment activities9 as
part of an approved training programmer either on board or ashore should
appreciate how and where the particular skill or ability being taught or
assessed might best be conducted and how it relates to all other skills
or abilities required to achieve competency at the operational level. Where
assessment is used in this document, it refers solely to the assessment
of the trainee's practical ability to carry out the tasks given in the
Training Record Book as demonstrated. Types of assessment include:
__________
·Instructors and assessors shall be qualified in accordance with regulation '/6 of the STCW Convention and corresponding parts of the STCW Code
.2 Approved training ship experience;
.3 Approved simulator training, where appropriate
.4 Approved laboratory equipment training;
.5 Approved fire-fighting training and experience as set out in STCW-Code
section A-VI/3 of the STCW Code;
.6 Approved training and experience as set out in section A-VI/2, paragraphs
1
to 4 of the STCW Code
.7 Approved training as set out in section A-VI/4, paragraphs 1 to 3
of the
STCW Code;
.8 Approved workshop skills training; and
.9 Approved practical experience and tests.
5. No on-board training or assessment should take place unless such
activities can be carried out without interfering with the normal operation
of the ship, jeopardizing safety of life at sea, or posing a risk of marine
pollution. Instructors and/or assessors' should be able to devote their
time and attention exclusively to the instruction and assessment activity
at hand, or if unable to do so, should defer the activity until a more
suitable time.
SCOPE
6. The aim of the practical training is for trainees to:
· gain experience in relevant aspects of shipboard activities
as they occur on board the ship or ships on which the trainee is sailing;
· test and compare the knowledge acquired at school with the
daily practice on board;
· consolidate and expand theoretical knowledge;
· build a practical basis to achieve the standards of competence
in accordance with table A-III/1 of the STCW Code;
· build a practical basis to achieve the standards of competence
in accordance with regulation VIII/2 and the corresponding sections of
Parts A and B of the STCW Code relating to Basic principles to be observed
in keeping an engineering watch;
· prepare for a future position on board.
OBJECTIVE
7.1 The trainees will acquire basic engineering skills and a practical awareness of the need to follow safe working practices. They will also be able to keep an engineering watch safely, in accordance with the relevant regulations and recommendations.
7.2 The aim of the Training Record Book is three fold, namely:
· directing the practical training, so the trainee is guided as to the objectives of the practical training period;
· giving guidance to the engineer officers regarding the development of the practical training to enable them to judge the progress and, if necessary, to make adjustments; and
· directing the training assessment so that the required training
outcome can be proved and documented.
APPROVED PROGRAM OF ON-BOARD TRAINING
8.1 Candidates for certification under regulation III/1, are required to follow an approved program of on-board training. This programmer of onboard training is to form part of an overall programmer of education and training approved by the Party under whose authority the certificate or endorsement is to be issued. The programmer of on-board training is required to ensure that the candidate receives systematic practical training and experience which is closely supervised and monitored by qualified engineer officers and adequately documented in an approved training record book. The regulation requires that engineer officers supervising and monitoring and assessing the onboard training are appropriate qualified.*
8.2 Each general training activity specified in the approved training record book is required to have been completed by the candidate and supervised, monitored, assessed and documented as being satisfactory completed in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of the STCW Code.
* See regulations 116, 1/8, and Ill/1 of the STCW Convention and the corresponding sections of parts A and B of the STCW Code.
Guidance for on-board instructors.
1. Before giving instruction in a particular skill or ability for the purpose of initialing this training record book (TRB), the instructor should (a) be qualified under the relevant regulations to give such instruction, and (b) determine that the candidate is qualified on the basis of prior experience and/or training, to receive such instruction. The instructor should also review the TRB to identify what training the candidate has already completed, and what training remains to be conducted.
2. In designing an on-board training activity, the instructor should have clear, measurable, training objectives. These should be organized by reference to other related skills and abilities needed by the student to achieve the level of competence being pursued. The training objectives should be approved by the responsible person supervising the training and assessment program.
3. The instructor should conduct training only when the necessary equipment is operational and will be available throughout the training exercise.
4. The instructor should follow an outline, checklist, or training plan which organizes information and instructional activities in a logical and progressive manner.
5. Instructional activities should make effective use of available teaching media such as videotape, personal computers, and models.
6. The instructor should ensure the candidate has sufficient opportunities to observe the skill or ability being properly performed. When the skill or ability requires the use of certain shipboard equipment, the instructor should ensure that the candidate is given adequate opportunities for hands-on use of that equipment along with constructive comments directing the candidate to preferred or proper ways of using the equipment.
7. Instruction should include explanations of misuse or improper procedure; problems that may be encountered and proper corrective actions to take; and descriptions of important differences which may exist from ship to ship.
8. The instructor should periodically use a reliable means of assessment to determine that candidate is in fact making progress toward the objectives stated for the instructional activity.
9. When the instructor is inexperienced, arrangements should be made for his or her early training activities to be monitored by the person responsible for supervising the training and assessment program, with the aim of ensuring that training activities are conducted in the most effective manner possible.
10. Before assessing the performance of a particular skill or ability for the purpose of initialing this TRB, the assessor should (a) be qualified under the relevant regulations to perform the assessment; and (b) determine that the candidate is qualified on the basis of prior experience and/or training, to be assessed. The assessor should also review the TRB to identify what training and assessment the candidate has already completed, and what training or assessment remains to be conducted.
11. In designing an on-board assessment activity, the assessor should have clear, measurable, assessment objectives. These should be organized by reference to other related skills and abilities needed by the student to achieve the level of competence being pursued. The training objectives should be approved by the person responsible for supervising the training and assessment program.
12. The following guidelines are taken from section B-II/1
of the STCW Code for the conduct of assessment and should be taken into
account:
.1 The scope of knowledge is implicit in the concept of competence. Assessment of competence should, therefore, encompass more than the immediate technical requirements of the job, the skills and tasks to be performed, and should reflect the broader aspects needed to meet the full expectations of competent performance as a ship’s officer. This includes relevant knowledge, theory principles, and cognitive skills which, to varying degrees, underpin all levels of competence. It also encompasses proficiency in what to do, how and when to do it, and why it should be done. Properly applied, this will help to ensure that a candidate can:
.1.1 work competently in different ships and across a range of circumstances;
.1.2 anticipate, prepare for, and deal with contingencies; and
.1.3 adapt to new and changing requirements.
.2 The criteria for evaluating competence (column 4 of table A-III/1 of the STCW Code) identify primarily in outcome terms the essential aspects of competent performance. They are expressed so that assessment of a candidate’s performance can be made against them and should be adequately documented in the training record book.
.3 Evaluation of competence is the process of:
.3.1 collecting sufficient valid and reliable evidence about the candidate’s knowledge, understanding and proficiency to accomplish the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed in column 1 of table A-III/1; and
.3.2 judging that evidence against the criteria specified in the standard.
.4 The arrangements for evaluating competence should be designed to take account of different methods of assessment which can provide different types of evidence about the candidate’s competence, e.g.:
.4.1 direct observation of work activities (including seagoing service);
.4.2 skills/proficiency/competency tests;
.4.3 projects and assignments;
.4.4 evidence from previous experience; and
.4.5 written, oral and computer-based questioning techniques.
One or more of the first four methods listed should be used to provide evidence of ability, in addition to appropriate questioning techniques to provide evidence of supporting knowledge and understanding.
13. Before conducting the assessment, the assessor should --
.1 familiarize him or herself with the assessment criteria [in column 4 of the relevant tables in section A-III/1 of the STCW Code] to ensure that the assessment activities will be effective and comprehensive;
.2 develop scenarios which involve a sequence of events that require
the candidate to exercise good judgment in a realistic amount of time;
that include distracters (such as equipment malfunctions) which test the
candidate's ability to react properly to abnormal or emergency circumstances;
and that require the candidate to make effective use of all relevant
and available human resources, hardware and information.
.3 ensure the necessary equipment is operational and will be
available throughout the assessment activity;
.4 be able to articulate the parameters or thresholds which will, under the circumstances, represent an acceptable level of performance;
.5 clearly explain to the candidate the purpose of the activity and the steps he or she is to take during the demonstration of the skill or ability;
.6 ensure that the candidate (a) can concentrate on the task(s) at hand; (b) will not receive unauthorized assistance during the assessment process; and (c) is not in a position to "learn the test" by watching the performance of other candidates;
.7 inform the candidate as to the scope and depth of knowledge to be assessed, the length of time allowed for the demonstration, and the effect of failing to perform part of the demonstration properly; and establish the candidate's willingness to be assessed under the circumstances presented.
14. The assessor should continuously observe the candidate during performance of the skill or ability and should only note in the training record book when the performance is acceptable. In the event the candidate does not perform a critical phase of the assessment exercise at an acceptable level of proficiency, assessment should be suspended and should not be conducted until further instruction is provided.
15. Successful or acceptable performance should be based
on the candidate's proved ability to safely perform:
.1 the assigned tasks in accordance with competency criteria identified
in the training record book;
.2 such tasks in a manner which demonstrates that the required level
of skill, knowledge and ability was never in serious doubt; and
.3 such tasks in a manner which demonstrates sound and professional judgment.
16. Unsuccessful or unacceptable performance may be based on the candidate's failure to prove his or her ability in accordance with paragraph 14, or because the candidate otherwise performs improperly in the judgment of the assessor, based on events such as the following:
.1 an action, or lack of action, by the candidate which required corrective action or intervention by the assessor to prevent injury, damage, or the development of a hazardous condition;
.2 the candidate failed to use proper procedures (including appropriate communication procedures);
.3 the candidate failed to take prompt corrective action when required.
17. Normally, a single demonstration of skill immediately following instruction should not be relied upon as the sole basis for judging competence.
18. When the assessor is inexperienced, arrangements should be
made for his or her early assessment activities to be monitored by the
person responsible for the training and assessment program, with the aim
of ensuring that assessment activities are conducted in the most effective
manner possible.

The assignment for this subject is to be carried out in a very detailed manner. Knowledge is basically obtained from instruction manuals. However, the necessary skills often underdeveloped. I t is desirable that the ship’s management is able to find opportunities to involve trainees, as much as possible, in solving problems in this field.
b Assignment
The electrical supply to the main switch board is
accomplished by generators. The ship’s supply is distributed from
the main switch board.
1 Describe, on the basis of a diagram, how two generators are switched on to the ship’s mains. Indicate how these generators work in parallel mode. 2 In a case where the ship is equipped with a shaft generator, the parallel operation of the shaft generator and a diesel generator is to be described. Indicate in both cases how the generators are protected and how load-sharing is accomplished. Some safety devices have a time-delay. Mention these and explain why a time-delay is needed. How are these safety devices tested? In case two generators are running in parallel and the total load than the maximum permissible load of one generator, then indicate in what way a total power supply shutdown is prevented, if one of the generators shuts down due to a prime mover failure. In case of a main generator failure the electrical supply is partly taken over by the emergency generator or a battery set via switchboard. Describe: a how the emergency generator is started; and’ b how the battery set switched on. Which machinery and devices are required to be connected to both the main and the emergency switchboard and why? Indicate how the emergency generator is prevented from overloading due to too much equipment being connected to the emergency switchboard. Which safety devices are fitted at the emergency switchboard and why? Is there a switch connection between the emergency and main switchboard? Describe how the electrical supply is started up again
after (whether or not fictitious) a power failure has occurred.

Enclosure 3
1. Each program of training is required to use a
Training Record Book (TRB) to document the progress and success of each
individual during the period of training. The TRB is to document
the tasks, duties and skills required of a licensed officer in charge of
a navigational watch or engineer officer in charge of an engine room watch.
2. The IMO model training record books provide
the tasks and criteria for satisfactory performance of training and/or
assessment.
3. Throughout the IMO model TRBs the criteria has
been provided for qualified instructors and assessors to expand upon and
to develop their own specific criteria for assessment in determining the
competency of the trainee.
4. However, there is concern for the potential
lack of consistency as dozens of assessors strive to create their own specific
criteria for assessment.
5. One method to employ in overcoming this potential
deficiency, is to have each training organization develop a specific criteria
for assessment to reflect the goals of training, particularly those specific
to a particular training program.
6. The specific criteria for assessment would be
forwarded to the vessel upon which the trainees would be assigned.
7. Assessors and ship board supervisors, through
their operational experience, would be able to witness and thereby determine
if the trainee were able to effectively demonstrate their ability and skills
in completing the objectives of the TRB while aboard ship.
8. Specific criteria for assessment will need to
be established prior to any assessment. The following example of
expanded criteria should provide sufficient guidance for developing additional
areas of assessment.
Figure A represents the tasks and criteria for satisfactory performance of the Function and Competence 1, presented in the IMO model TRB for Engineer Officer in Charge of an Engine Room Watch, tasks 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4
Figure A
Function: Electrical, electronic and control engineering at the operational level
Competence: Operate alternators, generators and control systems
Knowledge, understanding and proficiency: - Generating plant:
· Appropriate basic electrical knowledge and skills.
· Preparing, starting, coupling and changing over
alternators or generators.
· Location of common faults and action to prevent
damage.
Controls systems:
· Location of common faults and action to prevent damage.
Criteria for evaluating competence:
· Operations are planned and carried out in accordance
with established rules and procedures to ensure safety of operations.
The above statements provide a basis upon which an engineer can be deemed as competent for the task. However, in order to appropriately evaluate the performance of the trainee, the stipulated criteria needs to be expanded upon. Additional evaluation criteria should be developed by an experienced and qualified assessor into a set of specific criteria to determine (in this example) the "appropriate basic electrical knowledge and skills; the preparation for starting, coupling and changing over alternators (or generators).
The following statements represent one conceptual expansion and application of the specific criteria for assessment as previously stipulated in the IMO model TRB.
