2.3 Delivery Strategies and Methods The Competency Unit may be delivered on-the-job and/or off-the-job. On-thejob delivery can be done at the workplace by a certified on-the-job training instructor who maybe the manager or senior executive. On-the job training should be delivered through a structured approach using documented and approved training blueprints. Off-the-job delivery can be face to face in the classroom in a training organization, or at a workplace venue. Classroom delivery should emphasise interaction and student centred learning and use a flexible range of learning and delivery methods. If preparations by learners are required prior to commencement of the course, they should be provided with learning materials such as handouts (selfdirected learning) or compact disc (e-learning) upon registration of the course. They should also be notified by training organization on what they need to prepare before coming for the course. Every effort must be made to emphasise the direct relationship between the acquisition and application of the skills, knowledge and attitudes to their workplace. Suggestions for delivery of this Competency Unit are given below: a) Lecture presentation For lecture presentation, the trainer will explain the following competency elements with the following coverage: Establish full characteristics and quantities of cargo, bunkers, ballast, slops and oil mixtures to be transferred o Characteristics of the range of cargo, bunkers, ballast, slops and oily mixtures handled by the Terminal according to Product/Materials Safety Data Sheets o Transfer condition requirements of the range of crude oils, petroleum products, ballast, slops and oily mixtures o Transfer equipment preparation procedures for each cargo type handled by the Terminal o Health, safety and environmental concerns associated with the materials likely to be handled at the Terminal o Hazards and safety precautions associated with: Confused units of measure Confused chemical or commercial designations Unfamiliar languages o Exchange of Information - Understand requirement and info required: From tanker to the appropriate competent authority From tanker to Terminal From Terminal to tanker Establish details of necessary transfer conditions for each parcel of the cargo, bunkers, ballast, slops and oily mixtures o Chemical and physical properties of the range of materials likely to be handled at the Terminal 10

These delivery methods should be adjusted according to the different levels of the class group. To enhance the transfer of learning, an andragogical or adult-oriented approach to learning is encouraged in the development and delivery of the Competency Unit. Andragogical instructional techniques are designed with these factors in mind: adults are self-directed adults have acquired a large amount of knowledge and experience that can be utilised as a resource for learning adults have acquired a large amount of knowledge and experience through workplace learning adults show a greater readiness to learn tasks that are relevant to the roles they have in life 13

adults are motivated to learn in order to solve problems or address needs and they expect to immediately apply what they learn to these problems and needs adults need to be challenged with varied strategies that maintain interest. Varied delivery strategies should be utilised to optimise learning. For example: lecture presentation role play group discussion case studies demonstration practice observation and feedback sharing of best practices computer aided instructions. 3 Assessment Advice 3.1 Suggested Assessment Strategies Assessment strategy 1 Work Observation Real work situations or simulations Candidates are to be observed at approved assessment centre and the observation should cover participants ability to establish Terminal s preferred plan for safe and compatible transfers. Where real work situation is used for the assessment and where all evidence cannot be gathered in a one time assessment, they can be gathered over a reasonable period of time (maybe within a week) as determined and agreed by the candidate s manager, assessor and assessment manager. The assessment duration in this case will not apply. However, candidate should complete the assessment within the time frame stipulated in the job sheet or work instruction. Where it is not possible to assess the learner using real work situations, simulation will be used as an alternative method. Assessor is advised to study the candidate s work situation very carefully to determine the most appropriate method(s) to use for assessment. Simulation may also be used to gather all or part of the evidence. Where simulation is used to gather all the evidence, the assessment duration specified in the Assessment Plan will apply. Where simulation is used to gather part of the evidence, the assessor will need to determine the assessment duration and inform the candidate accordingly. Where evidence cannot be gathered during the practical performance, supplementary questions will be asked to ascertain candidate s competency. 14

Assessment strategy 2 Questioning Written and/or oral questioning is used to assess knowledge and performance criteria that are not observable during practical performance. Written test could be done through electronic means or question paper. Where candidates are unable to express a response during oral questioning, other means of response could be used, such as writing, drawing or demonstrating. Questions will be phrased simply and clearly to aid candidate s understanding of questions. Candidates will be assessed based on their correct answers to the questions asked and assessment results are recorded accordingly. 3.2 Certifying and Grading Performance Not applicable as this unit is un-graded. 3.3 Assessment Instruments and Tools Assessment evidence gathering templates are located in the annexes at the end of this guide. A Performance Criteria Checklist is provided in Annex A. This provides a reporting mechanism for several performance criteria that may be achieved by satisfactory completion of each selected assessment strategy. An Evidence Sources Checklist is provided in Annex B. This provides a reporting snapshot of the types of evidence gathering that may be used. An Evidence Checklist is provided in Annex C. This provides a reporting instrument to record a plan of expected evidence materials. A Verbal Assessment Checklist is provided in Annex D. This provides an instrument for the recording of answers to questions concerning the underpinning knowledge. 4 Trainer Requirements A trainer of this Competency unit must have the following relevant qualifications / experience and work knowledge: Qualifications/Experience: 1a) He should hold a Certificate of Competency Class 2 (Deck) or higher and have sailed onboard a tanker for a minimum of 2 years in a senior position; OR 15
