Introduction

This Course is designed to fulfill the requirements of Chapter III/Reg.1.6, the

Annex to Resolution 4 of the STCW – F 95 convention, part A of the Code of

Safety for Fisherman and Fishing Vessels – 2005-ed, and the Document for

Guidance on Training and Certification of Fishing Vessel Personnel – 2001-ed.

Additional areas were introduced to this course to enhance the efficiency,

reliability of graduates on board fishing vessels.

Preferences were made by the FTC Academic Board members with regards to the

IMO Model Courses. For that the Academic Board agrees that the IMO Model

Courses were well arranged and very effective in assisting teaching staff in

organizing, introducing and presenting their materials and in enhancing, updating

or supplementing existing training material where the quality and effectiveness of

the training courses may thereby be improved.

In such, the Outline of this Course emulates the IMO Model Course, but was

modified to facilitate the availability of facilities, resources and national policies.

Instructors are expected to follow this guide bearing in mind that their

knowledge, skills and dedications are the key components in the transfer of

knowledge and skills to those being trained.

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. The detailed teaching

syllabus must be studied carefully and lesson plans or lecture notes compiled where

appropriate.

It will be necessary to prepare material for use with overhead projectors or for distribution to

trainees as handouts. Preparation is essential if the course is to be effective and successful.

Evaluation covers practical exercises and theoretical knowledge. Guidance on evaluation of the

theoretical part of the course is given in Part E of the course.

Throughout the course it is important to stress that rules and regulations must be strictly

observed and all precautions taken to maximize safety with minimum effect on the

environment. Where appropriate, trainees should be given advice on the avoidance of

accidents.

Safety routines

Safety precautions are a major component in the organization of this course. Trainees must be

protected from danger at all times.

Instructors and their assistants must supervise strictly and observe that all precautions are done

accordingly. When necessary, the staff should provide protective equipments to trainees and

that they are aware of the location and use of the First Aid kit.

Part E

Evaluation

Introduction

The effectiveness of any evaluation depends upon the accuracy of the description of what is to

be measured.

The learning objectives used in the detailed syllabus will provide a sound base for the

construction of suitable tests for evaluating trainee progress.

Method of evaluation

Having a defined objective as detailed in Learning Objectives the following Evaluation methods

are to be conducted:

Unit Tests

End of Stage Exam

Course End Result

Unit Tests

At the end of every topic, trainees are to be given a written and/or practical test to ascertain

how much the trainees had absorbed. Trainees failing the unit test are to be given extra study

hours under close guidance of the topic instructor in accordance with FTC Rules for trainees and

the Quality Management System. Re-testing of these trainees will be conducted after a

considerable time of extra study hours has been given and the instructors are satisfied that

they are ready. A test at the end of the topic is also a self evaluation process of instructors.

End of Stage Exam

Before the end of each stage, Junior & Senior Stage, trainees are to be given three weeks

revision (1 week for the Junior stage & 2 weeks for the Senior stage) in preparation before the

Final Exams in accordance to the Quality Management System.

Junior Stage Exam covers all the topics taught from the beginning to the end of the Junior

Stage. Exams are in the form of Written and Practical Demonstrations.
