6、ven the highest priority to assisting developing countries in 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
7、 senior personnel in administration, ports, shipping companies and maritime training institutes by establishing the World Maritime University in Malm, Sweden, in 1983. Following the earlier adoption of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarer
8、s, 1978, a number of IMO Member Governments had suggested that IMO 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 con
9、sultants also subsequently determined from their visits to training establishments in developing countries that the provision of model courses could help instructors improve the quality of their existing courses and enhance their effectiveness in meeting the requirements of the Convention and implem
10、enting the associated Conference and IMO Assembly resolutions. In addition, it was appreciated that a comprehensive set of short model courses in various fields of maritime training would supplement the instruction provided by maritime academies and allow administrators and technical specialists alr
11、eady employed in maritime administrations, ports and shipping companies to improve their knowledge and skills in certain specialized fields. IMO has therefore developed the current series of model courses in response to these generally identified needs and with the generous assistance of Norway. The
12、se 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 . W. A. O?NEIL Secretary- Gen eral V Introduction The purpose of the IMO model courses is to assist training p
13、roviders 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 the training courses may thereby be improved. Purpose of the model courses It is not the intention of the
14、 model course programme to present instructors with a rigid “teaching package“ which they are expected to “follow blindly“. Nor is it the intention to substitute the instructors presence with audiovisual or “programmed“ material. As in all training endeavours, the knowledge, skills and dedication of
15、 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
16、been designed to identify the basic entry requirements and trainee target group for each course in universally applicable terms, and the skill necessary to meet the technical intent of IMO conventions and re1 ated recommend at ions. W To use the model course the instructor should review the course p
17、lan 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 syl
18、labus 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 to delete from the course, or reduce the emphasis on, items dealing with knowl
19、edge or skills already attained by the trainees. He should also identify any academic knowledge, skills or technical training which they may not have acquired. Use of the model course By analyzing the detailed syllabus and the academic knowledge required to allow training in the technical area to pr
20、oceed, 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 al
21、so 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 allotte
22、d 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 sp
23、ecific learning objective. 1 PROFICIENCY IN FAST RESCUE BOATS 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 refer
24、ences 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 38. Where no adjustment has been found necessary in the learning objectives of the detailed syllabus, the lesson plans may simply consist of the detail
25、ed 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 in various ways until the instructor is satisfied, by testing and evaluating the trainees performance a
26、nd achievements, that the trainee has attained each specific learning objective or training outcome. The syllabus is laid out in learning objective format and each objective specifies a requiredperformance or, what the trainee must be able to do as the learning or training outcome. Taken as a whole,
27、 these objectives aim to meet the knowledge, understanding and proficiency specified in the appropriate tables of the STCW Code. Implementation For the course to run smoothly and to be effective, considerable attention must be paid to the availability and use of: properly qualified instructors suppo
28、rt staff rooms and other spaces equipment textbooks, technical papers other reference material. Thorough preparation is the key to successful implementation of the course. IMO has produced a booklet entitled “Guidance on the implementation of IMO model courses“, which deals with this aspect in great
29、er detail. 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 revised and updated to cover the competences in STC
30、W 1995. It sets out the education and training to achieve those standards set out in Chapter VI Table A-VV2-2. Training and the STCW 1995 Convention Part A provides the framework for the course with its aims and objectives and notes on the suggested teaching facilities and equipment. A list of usefu
31、l teaching aids, IMO references and textbooks is also included. 2 INTRODUCTION Part B provides an outline of lectures, demonstrations and exercises for the course. A suggested timetable is included but from the teaching and learning point of view, it is more important that the trainee achieves the m
32、inimum standard of competence defined in the STCW Code than that a strict timetable is followed. Depending on their experience and 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 exp
33、lanations. A separate IMO model course addresses Assessment of Competence. This course explains the use of various methods for demonstrating competence and criteria for evaluating competence as tabulated in the STCW Code. Part C gives the Detailed Teaching Syllabus. This is based on the theoretical
34、and practical knowledge specified in the STCW Code. It is written as a series of learning objectives, 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
35、 and proficiency. IMO references, textbook references and suggested teaching aids are included to assist the teacher in designing lessons. Part D gives guidance notes and additional explanations. The Convention defines the minimum standards to be maintained in Part A of the STCW Code. Mandatory prov
36、isions concerning Training and Assessment are given in Section A46 of the STCW Code. These provisions cover: qualification of instructors; supervisors as assessors; in-service training; assessment of competence; and training and assessment within an institution. The corresponding Part B of the STCW
37、Code contains non-mandatory guidance on training and assessment. As previously mentioned a separate model course addresses Assessment of Competence and use of the criteria for evaluating competence tabulated in the STCW Code. Administrations should ensure that training courses delivered by training
38、providers are such as to ensure those completing training do meet the standards of competence required by STCW Regulation VV2. Responsi bilit es of Administ rations Validation The information contained in this document has been validated by a Validation Panel comprised of representatives designated
39、by IL0 and IMO. The model course material is intended 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-committe
40、e has found no grounds to object to its content. The work must not be regarded as an official interpretation of the Convention. In reaching a decision in this regard, the Sub-committee was guided by the advice of a Validation Group comprised of representatives designated by IL0 and IMO. 3 PROFICIENC
41、Y IN FAST RESCUE BOATS Part A: Course Framework Aims This model course aims to provide the training for candidates to launch and take charge of a fast rescue boat, in accordance with Section A-V1/2 of the STCW Code. Objective This syllabus covers the requirements of the 1995 STCW Convention Chapter
42、VI, Section A- VV2, Table A-VV2-2. On meeting the minimum standard of competence in fast rescue boats, a trainee will be competent to handle and take charge such boats during or after launch in adverse weather and sea conditions. They will also be able to operate a fast rescue boat engine. Trainees
43、will know the correct use of all locating devices, including communication and signalling equipment between the rescue boat and a helicopter and the ship; and how to carry out search patterns. Entry standards For admission to the course seafarers must be medically fit and the holder of a certificate
44、 of Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats other than Fast Rescue Boats in accordance with Regulation VV2, paragraph 1 of STCW 1995. Course certificate On successful completion of the course and demonstration of competence, a certificate may be issued, in accordance with Regulation VV2, para
45、graph 2, certifying that the holder has met the standard of competence specified in Table A-VV2-2 of STCW 1995. Such a certificate may be issued only by centres approved by the Administration. Course intake limitations The maximum number of trainees attending each session will depend on the availabi
46、lity of instructors, equipment and facilities available for conducting the training. It should not exceed the number of persons which the fast rescue boat to be used is permitted to carry, and should not, at any time, exceed that which will allow sufficient opportunity for each trainee to have adequ
47、ate practical instruction in procedures for the proper use of systems and equipment. H Staff requirements The instructor shall have appropriate training in instructional techniques and training methods (STCW Code A-1/6, para 7). 4 PART A: COURSE FRAMEWORK All training and instruction should be given
48、 by properly qualified personnel. The instructors should have the necessary knowledge, training and experience in preparation, embarkation, launching and operation of fast rescue boats with equipment which is used on board ships. Depending on the number being trained, assistant instructors may be ne
49、eded to supervise groups of trainees during drills and to take charge of the fast rescue boats and standby rescue boat. All instructors should be qualified in first aid and resuscitation techniques. Training facilities and equipment Ordinary classroom facilities and an overhead projector are required for the lecturers. When making use of audiovisual material such as videos or slides, make sure the appropriate equipment is available. A large table or benches on which equipment can be demonstrated should be provided. Showers, a changing room with lockers for trainees dry clothing and a dryi
