HTW 3/3/3  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 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 inthe administration, ports, shipping companies and maritime establishing World Maritime University in Malmo, Sweden, in 1983. training institutes by 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 [ 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 developmen ts 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 implementin g 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.

HTW 3/3/3  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 t raining courses may [thereby] be improved. It is not the t he 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 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 objective..

HTW 3/3/3  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 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,  performance  or, what the trainee must be able to do as 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 run considerable e attention must be paid to the availability availabili ty and to use of:smoothly and to be effective, considerabl •

properly qualified instructors

•

support staff

•

[rooms] [properly equipped classrooms] and other spaces

•

[appropriate] equipment [and teaching aids]

•

•

[other] [appropriate] reference material.

Thorough preparation prepar ation is the key to successful implementation implementati on 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 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]. https://edocs.imo.org/Final Documents/English/HTW Documents/English/HTW 3-3-3 (E).docx

 

HTW 3/3/3  Annex, page 7  A suggested timetable timetable is included, but from the teaching teaching and learning learning point of view 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 explanations.] .]  A separate IMO model course addresses Assessment of Competence. This course explains the use of as various methods demonstrating competence and criteria for evaluating competence tabulated in the for 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 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 t he 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 with in an institution. The corr corresponding esponding 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. Convention.

HTW 3/3/3  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 [ living and working] environmen environmentt [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 W orking 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 environmen environmentt 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] understandin g] [give some knowledge] k nowledge] 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 successfully completing this course will 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] f atigue]

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] [ 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 t he 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.

HTW 3/3/3  Annex, page 77 Part D: Instructor Manual Introduction The instructor manual provides guidance on the material that is to be presented during the course. The course material reflects the requirements for the basic training or instruction in personal safety and social responsibilities, as specified in regulation Vl/1 of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, [1995] [1978, as amended]. The material has been arranged in six sections: 1 [Observe safe working practices] [Comply with emergency procedures] 2 [Contribute to effective human relationships on board ship: human relationships on board ship] [ Take precautions to prevent pollution of the marine environment] 3 [Understand orders and be understood in relation to shipboard duties] [Observe safe working practices] 4 [Comply with emergency procedures] [Contribute to effective communications on board ship] 5 [Take precautions to prevent pollution of the marine environment] [Contribute to effective human relationships on board ship] 6 [Contribute to effective human relationships on board ship (concluded): social responsibilities)] [Understand and take necessary actions to control fatigue]

The consolidated text of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, the 1978 SOLAS Protocol and amendments (R2) and Human Resources Management for Marine Personnel (R6) are used as a basic reference throughout the course. The course outline and timetable provide guidance on the time allocation for the course material, but the instructor is free to make adjustments as necessary. Throughout the course it is important to stress that rules and regulations must be strictly observed and all precautions taken to minimize risks. Where appropriate, trainees should be given advice on the avoidance of accidents. The detailed teaching syllabus must be studied carefully and lesson plans or lecture notes compiled where appropriate. appro priate. An example of a lesson plan is given [on page 42] [in Appe Appendix ndix 1.] Instruction should be made as practical as possible and actual equipment should be used, where available, to illustrate lessons in the classroom.

HTW 3/3/3  Annex, page 78 Guidance Notes The following notes are intended to highlight the main objectives of the course. The notes also contain some material and guidance on the conduct of the course and on topics which are not adequately covered in the quoted references. [Instructions][Guidance] to [lecturers][Instructors] [lecturers][Instructors] It must be borne in mind that candidates for this course may have never been on a ship, [may] have [definitely] [little or] no idea of working procedures and may even be from non-coastal areas having [no] [a very basic] idea of what a ship is or looks like. Hence the delivery of the course must be brought down to an [absolutely] [appropriate] [basic] level. At every stage, especially in the beginning, it is necessary for the [teacher] [instructor] to give the student an understanding understandin g of a ship layout or environment environment by explaining, for example, that the hazards of trips, slips and falls[,] [or head injuries] are different in a shipboard environment as compared to ashore [as the ship is a moving platform of complex design.] This may be done by extensive diagrams, photographs or videos of the ship layout. At the same time it is not recommended that [the candidates] [trainees] [trainees] be disciplined disciplined into blindly accepting these lessons [so tthat hat he] [thereby] lose[s][ing] any initiative or [critical] thinking ability. [We do not want] The aim is not to [bring out] [ produce] robots programmed to work without thinking. [Candidates] [Trainees] can be [taught] [encouraged] to think [independently about a situation] by giving them a [situation] [scenario] and asking them to respond, [e.g ][for example].

•

 At the scene of a road accident, what what would you be expected expected to do? or  

•

On a visit to the docks what would you see and what dangers could you be exposed to? or  

•

How can chemicals used to clean utensils, bathrooms and toilets harm us and what precautions must be taken?

These [types [types of] questions must be continually asked throughout the course as the trainees' level of knowledge increases, so that [he does] [they do] not close the responsive part of [his] [their] mind and just sit in class [to] [and] accept whatever is told, but [thinks] [encourages them to think] before answering and develop the ability to reason and question. [Only] [It should be emphasized to the trainees that only] then can [we give him the] [they have] responsibility [of his] [for [for their own] personal safety and [those] [that] of [his] [their] shipmates, knowing that [he] [they] will [adapt his response to] [be able to think and react to the ]change[d][ing] circumstances [of [of the shipboard environment], within the basic principles of safety that [he has] [they have] been taught. The course outline and timetable provide guidance on the allocation of time for the course material, but the instructor is free to make adjustments as necessary. The detailed teaching syllabus must be studied carefully and lesson plans or lecture notes compiled where appropriate. An example of a lesson plan is attached [at the end of Part D] [in the Appendices]. It may be helpful to prepare material for [use] [presentation [presentation such as power point] with [an overhead] [a [a digital] projector and for distribution to trainees as handouts. Thorough preparation preparati on is essential if the course is to be effective and successful. Teaching Teac hing Aid A3 requires photographs or pictures of various parts of the ship which must either be large in size for classroom viewing or able to be projected on a [OHP] screen. [The] [Suitable videos can be used and] pictures [and videos] should indicate the operations on board the ship and provide an idea of the likely hazards that could occur during these operations. [In] [When presenting] the review of the course [material] the instructor should stress the important aspects of each subject area and [take [ take the opportunity to] clarify [any] doubts or

Examples of exercises [are given below and] [which] may be used together with oral questions based on the course [syllabus] [material are given below]. [Once again,] Questions based on hypothetical situations situations may be asked to t o test if the candidate can apply the principles [[he he has] [they have] learnt to various [changed] circumstances, but should not be used as a criteria for failing [the] a candidate or [requiring them to] repeat[ing] the course.
