Introduction

This Course is designed to reflect the IMO developed model Course which was

found very effective in meeting the requirements of the Convention and

implementing the associated Conference and IMO Assembly resolutions.

Preferences were made by FTC Academic Board members with regards to

whether to implement the IMO Model Courses as set forth or adopt the New Set

of Courses. 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. The Outline of this Course emulate the IMO

Model Course, but with some modifications to adjust with facilities and resources

available 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 instructor manual provides guidance on the material that is to be presented during the

course. The course material reflects the requirements for the training of ratings before

engaged on sea board services, particularly on fishing vessels.

The material has been arranged under 9 main headings:

1) Module Introduction

2) Nautical Terms

3) Flags

4) Marine Instruments

5) Duties

6) Sea Markers

7) Anchor

8) Rules of the Road

9) REVIEW AND FINAL ASSESSMENT

The course outline and timetable provide guidance on the period’s 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 during the onboard training and drills are a major component in the

organization of this course. Trainees must be protected from danger at all times while onboard

a training vessel and drills in progress.

Drills scenarios should be submitted to the Principal before the exercise is carried out for

approval.

Instructors and their assistants must supervise strictly and act as safety guards. When

necessary, the staff should wear complete breathing apparatus and carry portable fire

extinguishers so that they can assist trainees when required especially during fire exercises.

Other safety precautions include an extra fire hose nozzle, a shower near to the site, first aid

equipment and an oxygen unit and resuscitation kit.

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 given and the instructors satisfies 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 two weeks revision

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.

Senior Stage Exam comprises with Written, Practical and Orals. Trainees could be
