6 Annex, page 4 Foreword Since its inception the International Maritime Organization has recognized the importance of human resources to the development of the maritime industry and has given the highest priority to assisting developing countries in enhancing their maritime training capabilities through the provision or improvement of maritime training facilities at national and regional levels. IMO has also responded to the needs of developing countries for postgraduate training for senior personnel in administration, ports, shipping companies and maritime training institutes by establishing the World Maritime University in Malmo, Sweden, in Following the [earlier] adoption of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, [(STCW)] [a number of][and subsequent amendments,] IMO Member Governments [had suggested that] [have supported] IMO [should develop] [in developing] model training courses [to] [which] assist in the implementation of the Convention and in achieving a more rapid transfer of information and skills regarding new developments in maritime technology. IMO training advisers and consultants also have subsequently [determined] confirmed from their visits to training establishments in developing countries that the provision of model courses [could] help[s] colleges and instructors improve the quality of their existing courses, [and] enhance[ing] their effectiveness in meeting the requirements of the Convention and [in] implementing the associated Conference and IMO Assembly resolutions. [In addition,] [i][i]t [was] [is] appreciated that a comprehensive set of short model courses in various fields of maritime training [would supplement] supplement[s] the instruction provided by maritime academies [and] allow[s] administrators and technical specialists already employed in maritime administrations, ports and shipping companies to improve their knowledge and skills in certain specialized fields. IMO has therefore [developed] [supported the continuing development of] the current series of model courses in response to these generally identified needs [and with the generous assistance of Norway]. These model courses may be used by any training institution and the Organization is prepared to assist developing countries in implementing any course when the requisite financing is available. [W. A. O'NEIL] [K. Lim] Secretary-General

7 Annex, page 5 Introduction Purpose of the model courses The purpose of the IMO model courses is to assist training providers and their teaching staff in organizing and introducing new training [courses, or] [programs and] in enhancing, updating[or] [and] supplementing existing training material where the quality and effectiveness of the training courses may [thereby] be improved. It is not the intention of the model course [programme] [program] to present instructors with a rigid "teaching package" which they are expected to "follow blindly". Nor is it the intention to substitute the instructor's presence with audiovisual or "programmed" material. As in all training [endeavours] [tasks], the knowledge, skills and dedication of the instructor are the key components in the transfer of knowledge and skills to those being trained through IMO model course material. Because educational systems and the cultural backgrounds of trainees in maritime subjects vary considerably from country to country, the model course material has been designed to identify the basic entry requirements and trainee target group for each course in universally applicable terms, and to specify clearly the technical content and levels of knowledge and skill necessary to meet the technical intent of IMO conventions and related recommendations. In order to keep the training programme up to date in future, it is essential that users provide feedback. New information will provide better training in safety at sea and protection of the marine environment. Information, comments and suggestions should be sent to the Head Maritime Training and Human Element at IMO, London. Use of the model course To use the model course the instructor should review the course plan and detailed syllabus, taking into account the information provided under the entry standards specified in the course framework. The actual level of knowledge and skills and prior technical education of the trainees should be kept in mind during this review and any areas within the detailed syllabus which may cause difficulties because of differences between the actual trainee entry level and that assumed by the course designer should be identified. To compensate for such differences, the instructor is [expected] [at liberty] to delete from the course, or reduce the emphasis on, items dealing with knowledge or skills already attained by the trainees. [He] [The instructor] should also identify any academic knowledge, skills or technical training which they may not have acquired. By analysing the detailed syllabus and the academic knowledge required to allow training in the technical area to proceed, the instructor can design an appropriate pre-entry course or, alternatively, insert the elements of academic knowledge required to support the technical training elements concerned at appropriate points within the technical course. Adjustment of the course objectives, scope and content may also be necessary if within the respective maritime industry the trainees completing the course are to undertake duties which differ from the course objectives specified in the model course. Within the course plan the course designers have indicated their assessment of the time which should be allotted to each learning area. However, it must be appreciated that these allocations are arbitrary and assume that the trainees have fully met all the entry requirements of the course. The instructor should therefore review these assessments and may need to reallocate the time required to achieve each specific learning objective.

8 Annex, page 6 Lesson plans Having adjusted the course content to suit the trainee intake and any revision of the course objectives, the instructor should draw up lesson plans based on the detailed syllabus. The detailed syllabus contains specific references to the textbooks or teaching material proposed to be used in the course. An example of a lesson plan is shown in [the instructor manual on page 42] [Appendix 1]. Where no adjustment has been found necessary in the learning objectives of the detailed syllabus, the lesson plans may simply consist of the detailed syllabus with keywords or other reminders added to assist the instructor in making [his] [their] presentation of the material. Presentation The presentation of concepts and methodologies must be repeated in various ways until the instructor is satisfied, by testing and evaluating the trainee's performance and achievements, that the trainee has attained each specific learning objective [or] [and] training outcome. The syllabus is laid out in learning objective format and each objective specifies a required performance or, what the trainee must be able to do as the learning or training outcome. Taken as a whole, these objectives aim to meet the knowledge, understanding and proficiency specified in the appropriate tables of the STCW Code. Implementation For the course to run smoothly and to be effective, considerable attention must be paid to the availability and use of: properly qualified instructors support staff [rooms] [properly equipped classrooms] and other spaces [appropriate] equipment [and teaching aids] [videos and multi-media presentations] textbooks, [and any appropriate] technical papers [other] [appropriate] reference material. Thorough preparation is the key to successful implementation of the course. IMO has produced a booklet entitled "Guidance on the implementation of IMO model courses", which deals with this aspect in greater detail. Training and the STCW [1995] Convention [1978, as amended] The standards of competence that have to be met by seafarers are defined in Part A of the STCW Code in the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers Convention.[, as amended in 1995.] This IMO model course has been written to cover the competences in [STCW 1995] the relevant section of the STCW Code. It sets out the education and training to achieve those standards set out in [Chapter Vl,] Table A-VI/1-4. Part A provides the framework for the course with its aims and objectives and notes on the suggested teaching facilities and equipment. A list of useful teaching aids, IMO references and textbooks is also included. Part B provides [an] [a course] outline of lectures, [demonstrations and exercises for the course.] [with each competence expanded into subjects and a nominal time period given for each module].

9 Annex, page 7 A suggested timetable is included, but from the teaching and learning point of view, it is more important that the trainee achieves the minimum standard of competence defined in the STCW Code than [that a] strict [adherence to a] timetable [is followed]. Depending on their ability, some students will naturally take longer to become proficient in some topics than in others. [Also included in this section are guidance notes and additional explanations.] A separate IMO model course addresses Assessment of Competence. This course explains the use of various methods for demonstrating competence and criteria for evaluating competence as tabulated in the STCW Code. Part C [gives] [provides] the [Learning Objectives and] Detailed Teaching Syllabus. This is based on the theoretical and practical knowledge specified in the STCW Code[.] [and is presented on two sections. Section 1 introduces the core learning objectives which have been derived from the competencies and corresponding knowledge, understanding and proficiencies detailed in STCW Table A-VI/1-4. Section 2 contains the detailed teaching syllabus which expands further upon the core objectives. The syllabus is] [It is] written as a series of [learning objectives] [required performance criteria], in other words, what the trainee is expected to be able to do as a result of the teaching and training. [Each of the objectives is expanded to define a required performance of knowledge, understanding and proficiency.] IMO references, textbook references and suggested teaching aids are included to assist the teacher in designing lessons. The [new] training requirements for these competences are addressed in the appropriate parts of the detailed teaching syllabus. The Convention defines the minimum standards to be maintained in Part A of the STCW Code. Mandatory provisions concerning Training and Assessment are given in Section A-l/6 of the STCW Code. These provisions cover: [approval by the Administration]; qualification of instructors; supervisors [as] [and] assessors; in-service training; assessment of competence; and training and assessment within an institution. The corresponding Part B of the STCW Code contains non-mandatory guidance on training and assessment. The criteria for evaluating competence of trainees specified in the minimum standard of competence tables of Part A of the STCW Code are to be used in the assessment of all competences listed in those tables. As previously mentioned, a separate model course addresses Assessment of Competence and use of the criteria for evaluating competence tabulated in the STCW Code. Responsibilities of Administrations [It is the responsibility of] Administrations [should] [to] ensure that training courses delivered by [their] training providers are such [as to ensure] [that] those completing training [do] meet the [STCW] standards of competence [for the level of certification to be issued]. Validation The information contained in this document has been validated by the Sub-Committee on [Standards of] [Human Factors,] Training and Watchkeeping for use by technical advisors, consultants and experts for the training and certification of seafarers so that the minimum standards implemented may be as uniform as possible. "Validation" in the context of this document means that the Sub-Committee has found no grounds to object to its content. The Sub-Committee has not granted its approval to the documents, as it considers that this work must not be regarded as an official interpretation of the Convention.

10 Annex, page 8 In reaching a decision in this regard the Sub-Committee was guided by the advice of a Validation Group comprised of representatives designated by ILO and IMO.

11 Annex, page 9 Part A: Course Framework Aims This model course aims to meet the mandatory minimum requirements for seafarers for familiarization, basic safety training and instruction in accordance with Section A-VI/1 of the STCW Code. Objective [Due to the] [This course is designed to prepare new recruits for life on a ship at sea where they will experience a] vastly different [living and working] environment [on a ship as] compared to [that if they were living and working] ashore[.] [, this course is designed to prepare new recruits for a life at sea.] Working on a ship can be [a] hazardous occupation for the uninitiated. This course will give new seafarers an insight into the various elements of a ship and working procedures on board so that they adjust to the shipboard environment and are better prepared to cope with any unforeseen circumstances. To that extent this course is planned to make their transition from a shore to a sea career [as] smooth [as possible] and [provide some understanding] [give some knowledge] of [ship's] [a seafarer's] working [environment and the hazards, procedures and safe work practices they will encounter,] before they actually step on board a ship. A trainee successfully completing this course will be able to: comply with emergency procedures take precautions to prevent pollution of the marine environment observe safe working practices [recognize and identify hazards onboard] understand orders and be understood in relation to shipboard duties contribute to effective human relationships on board ship [ comply with seafarer hygiene and seafarer well-being practices recognize the dangers and causes of fatigue] Entry standards There are no specific entry standards for the training in this model course. The training is mandatory for all prospective seafarers, who should complete this basic training before being assigned to any shipboard duties. Course certificate On successful completion of the course and demonstration of competence, a certificate may be issued certifying that the holder has met the standard of competence specified in Table A-Vl/1-4 of [the] STCW [1995] [Code]. Such a certificate may be issued only by [centres] [training organizations] approved by the Administration. Course intake limitations The maximum number of trainees attending each session will depend on the availability of instructors, equipment and facilities available for conducting the training. The number should not, at any time, exceed that which will allow sufficient opportunity for each trainee to have adequate practical instruction in procedures for the proper use of systems and equipment.

12 Annex, page 10 Staff requirements [The] Instructor[s] shall [be appropriately qualified and] have [appropriate] training in instructional techniques and training [and assessment] methods [and must be approved by the Administration] (STCW Code Section A-l/6, para[graphs 1-]7). Teaching facilities and equipment [Ordinary] [Suitable] classroom facilities [and an overhead projector] are required for the lectures. [In addition, when making] [Where the] use of audiovisual material such as [multimedia presentations], videos or slides [is intended] it should be ensured that [the] appropriate equipment is available.

16 Annex, page 14 Part B: Course Outline and Timetable Lectures As far as possible, lectures should be presented within a familiar context and should make use of practical examples. They should be well illustrated with diagrams, [photographs] [pictures] and [charts] [videos] where appropriate, and be related to [matter learned] [skills that will be necessary] during seagoing time. An effective manner of presentation is to develop a technique of giving information and then reinforcing it. For example, first tell the trainees briefly what you are going to present to them; then cover the topic in detail; and, finally, summarize what you have told them. The use of [an overhead] [audio-visual aids such as video /DVD/media players, digital] projector [and multi-media presentations] and [ensuring that] the [distribution of copies of the transparencies as] trainees' handouts [and student notes are relevant, will all] contribute to the learning process. Course Outline [and Course Timetable] The tables that follow list the competencies and [areas of knowledge, understanding and proficiency,] [subject matter for this course in the sequence that they are listed in Table A-VI/1-4 of the STCW Code], together with [the estimated total] [a suggested number of] hours required for [the completion of] lectures and practical exercises. Teaching staff should note that timings are suggestions only and [should] [that the subject matter may] be adapted to suit individual groups of trainees depending on their experience[,] [and] ability[,] [and the] equipment and staff available for training.
