8、endium (see separate Contents) V 1 5 11 17 19 31 37 41 43 61 Since its incept ion, the I n terna tio na1 Mariti me Organ iza ti on (IMO) has recognized the importance of human resources to the development of the maritime industry and has given the highest priority to assisting developing countries i

9、n 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 administrations, ports, shipping compan

10、ies and maritime training institutes by establishing the world Maritime University in Malm, Sweden, in 1983. Following the adoption of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, a number of IMO Member Governments suggested that I

11、MO should develop model training courses to 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 subsequently determined from their visits to train

12、ing establishments in developing countries that the provision of model courses could help instructors improve the quality of their existing courses and enhance their implementation of associated Conference and I MO Assembly resolutions. In addition, it was appreciated that a comprehensive set of sho

13、rt model courses in various fields of maritime training would supplement the instruction provided by maritime academies and allow administrators and technical specialists already employed in maritime administrations, ports and shipping companies to improve their knowledge and skills in certain speci

14、alized fields. With the generous assistance of the Government of Norway, IMO developed model courses in response to these generally identified needs and now keeps them updated through a regular revision process, taking into account any amendments to the requirements prescribed in IMO instruments and

15、 any technological developments in the field. These model courses may be used by any training institution and, when the requisite financing is available, the Organization is prepared to assist developing countries in implementing any course. E. E. MITROPOULOS Secretary-General INTRODUCTION 1 Introdu

16、ction Purpose of the model courses The purpose of the IMO model courses is to assist maritime training institutes and their teaching staff in organizing and introducing new training courses, or in enhancing, updating or supplementing existing training material where the quality and effectiveness of

17、the training courses may thereby be improved. It is not the intention of the model course programme to present instructors with rigid “teaching package” which they are expected to follow “blindly”. Nor is it the intention to substitute audio-visual or “programmed” material for the instructors presen

18、ce. As in all training endeavours, 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

19、 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

20、the technical intent of IMO conventions and related recommendations. 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 specifies in the course framework. The actua

21、l level of knowledge and skills and the 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 in between the actual trainee entry level and that assumed by the course designe

22、r should be identified. To compensate for such differences, the instructor may be expected to delete from the course, or reduce the emphasis on, items dealing with knowledge or skill already attained by the trainees. He should also identify any academic knowledge, skill or technical training which t

23、hey 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 2 GMDSS RESTRICTED OPERATORS CERTIFICATE course or, alternatively, insert the elements of academic

24、knowledge required to support the technical training elements concerned at appropriate points within the technical course. (Ref. Ist and 2nd class Radio Electronic Certificate). Adjustment of the course objectives, scope and content may also be necessary if in your maritime industry the trainees com

25、pleting 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 alloca

26、tions are arbitrary and assume that the trainees have fully met all entry requirements of the course. The instructor should therefore review these assessments each specific learning objective (extension of the time may be advisable). Lesson plans If the course content has been adjusted to suit the t

27、rainee intake and any revision of the course objective, 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. Where no adjustments has been found necessary

28、 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 presentation of the material. Presentation The presentation of concepts and methodologies must be repeated

29、in various ways until the instructor is satisfied that the trainee has attained each specific learning objective. The syllabus is laid out in learning-objective format and each objective specifies what the trainee must be able to perform as the learning outcome. INTRODUCTION 3 Implementation For the

30、 course to run smoothly and to be effective, considerable attention must be paid to the availability and use of: o properly qualified instructors O supportstaff o rooms and other spaces o real equipment (ref. table A-IV/2 in the STCW95) o GMDSS communication simulator, where appropriate (ref. table

31、A-IV/2 in the STCW95) o textbooks, technical papers, and o other reference material Thorough preparation is the key to successful implementation of the course. IMO has produced ?Guidance of the implementation of IMO model courses?, which deals with this aspect in greater detail and is included as an

32、 attachment to this course. EXPLANTATORY MEMORANDUM 5 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM (EU) 1. Introduction The start of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) in February 1992 made it necessary to harmonise the examination requirements for certification of maritime radio operators. The CEPT R

33、ecommendation TIR 3103 (the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations) was developed and approved by the ERC in 1993 to harmonise the examination syllabi for maritime radio personnel operating in the GMDSS and the procedures for conversion of non- GMDSS certificates to GMD

34、SS certificates. The efficient operation of GMDSS depends on the proficiency of the maritime radio operators. The Recommendation T/R 31 -03 concerning the harmonised examination syllabi for the General Operators Certificate and the Restricted Operators Certificate has proved to be a valuable tool fo

35、r improving the competence of operators. The importance of the harmonised procedures is emphasised by the fact that part of the content of TIR 31- 03 has been adopted by the IMO into the Model Training Course. Some part of TIR 31-03 are not relevant any more, notably the temporary procedures for lim

36、ited examination. Since the period of validity of the limited examinations has ended, these procedures have not been included in the ERC Decision. In addition to the examination syllabi described in this Decision an ERC Recommendation on the content and format of GOC and ROC certificates is under pr

37、eparation. 2. Need for an ERC Decision Unfortunately serious operational mistakes still take place on GMDSS frequencies, .e. in the form of false Distress alerts and incorrect Distress relays. In order to alleviate these problems, the status of the GOC and ROC examination syllabi needs to be enhance

38、d. The 17th meeting of ERC in June 1996 recognised that more efficient provisions than a Recommendation are required and approved in the Work Programme of WGRR the work item of converting T/R 31-3 to an ERC Decision. 6 GMDSS RESTRICTED OPERATORS CERTIFICATE After the implementation of the ERC Decisi

39、on mechanism, the normal outcome of ERC should be in format of a Decision. Decisions are, presumed to be used in matters of significant harmonisation in the radio communications regulatory field. The importance of efficient and timely implementation of the GMDSS system requires the Recommendation T/

40、R 31 -03 to be converted to a Decision.
