Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities. Model Course 1.21. 2016 Edition

Книга на английском языке
After the adoption of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certi?cation and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, (STCW) , 1978, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) recognized the need to provide guidance to maritime academies and training institutes to develop model training courses that are in compliance with STCW Convention requirements for certi?cation of seafarers. Hence the IMO model course programme was introduced to provide guidance with a view to supporting maritime training providers and to assist maritime administrations responsible for the approval of STCW courses.
The model course programme has been a long-time success and IMO has developed a number of model courses to help in effectively implementing the STCW Convention and the Knowledge, Understanding and Pro?ciency (KUP) requirements of the STCW Code. I believe that the key to this success is adherence to the requirements of the Convention while, at the same time, these requirements are supplemented with industry best practices so that seafarers can be con?dent in carrying out the duties on board. The success of a course depends on the skills and competence of individual course facilitators. As part of the model courses, IMO has also developed guidance on the implementation of the model course, which may help those less experienced facilitators to make each course a success.
