Practical training shall ensure the trainee is sufficiently
proficient to carry out survey or design assessment work independently.
A1.5.2
Plan approval staff
A1.5.2.1 Practical training shall be commensurate
with the complexity of design assessment (review of technical design
of ships, review of technical documentation on materials and equipment)
and shall be carried out under the supervision of a tutor.
A1.5.2.2 Practical training carried out shall
be recorded.
A1.5.3.1 Practical training shall be commensurate
with the complexity of the survey (types or categories of surveys,
types of ships, specific subjects (hull, machinery, and electrical
engineering)) and shall be carried out under the supervision of a
tutor.
A1.5.3.2 Selection of particular surveys depends
on the specialty/qualification to be granted and shall include classification
and statutory types of surveys of the following, as appropriate:
A1.5.3.3 Practical training carried out shall
be recorded.
A1.5.4
Examinations and tests for survey
and plan approval staff
A1.5.4.1 Competence gained through the theoretical
training shall be demonstrated through written or oral examination
or through suitable computer tests.
A1.5.4.2 Examinations and tests shall cover the
sets of modules attended by the trainee, as applicable.
A1.5.4.3 With respect to competence gained through
practical training being demonstrated by:
-
.1 a surveyor, this shall be accomplished by the
surveyor satisfactorily completing the surveys associated with the
competence whilst under the supervision of the tutor. The surveyor
would be expected to be able to answer associated technical questions
raised as thought necessary by the tutor to confirm levels of understanding.
The results of the tutor's review shall be annotated on the respective
training record; and
-
.2 a plan approval staff member, this shall be
accomplished by the staff member satisfactorily completing the appraisal
of drawings against the relevant classification rules and statutory
regulations as verified through a review by the tutor of the staff
member's work. The results of the tutor's review shall be annotated
on the respective training record.
A1.5.4.4 A competent person shall perform examinations
of theoretical training or witnessing practical competence.
A1.5.4.5 During examinations and tests, use of
the relevant working documents (rules, conventions, checklists, etc.)
by the trainee shall be considered allowable.
A1.5.5.1
Theoretical training
A1.5.5.1.1 Theoretical training should address
the following:
-
.1 principles and practice of management systems
auditing;
-
.2 the requirements of the International Safety
Management (ISM) Code and its interpretation and application;
-
.3 mandatory rules and regulations and applicable
codes, guidelines and standards recommended by the IMO, flag States,
classification societies and maritime industry organization; and
-
.4 basic shipboard operations including emergency
preparedness and response. The time spent on each topic and the level
of detail that it is necessary to include will depend on the qualifications
and experience of the trainees, their existing competence in each
subject, and the number of training audits to be carried out.
A1.5.5.1.2 The training may be modular in structure,
in which case the period over which the theoretical training is delivered
shall not exceed 12 months.
A1.5.5.1.3 Where appropriate, some elements may
be delivered by means such as distance learning and e-learning. However,
at least fifty per cent of the total theoretical training days shall
be classroom-based in order to allow for discussion and debate and
to allow candidates to benefit from the experience of the trainer.
A1.5.5.2.1 Confirmation that the learning objectives
have been met shall be demonstrated by written examination at the
end of the theoretical training, or at the end of each module if the
training is not delivered in a single training course.
A1.5.5.2.2 If the trainee fails the written examination,
or any part thereof; a single resit will be permitted. A candidate
who fails the resit will be required to undergo the corresponding
theoretical training again before being allowed to make another attempt
at the examination.
A1.5.5.2.3 A candidate who passes a written examination
shall receive a certificate, statement or other record indicating
which of the competences have been addressed, and the dates on which
the corresponding training took place.
A1.5.5.3
Practical training
A1.5.5.3.1 A person authorized to carry out ISM
audits shall have completed at least the minimum number of training
audits under supervision as specified by the RO.
A1.5.5.3.2 The RO shall establish procedures for
ensuring and demonstrating that the required competence has been achieved.
