PREAMBLE
‘The Code of Safety for Small Commercial Vessels (SCV Code) operating in the Caribbean,
prepared by Caribbean countries with the support of the International Maritime Organization
(IMO), prescribes siandards relating to the safety of these vessels und the licensing of the
operational personnel as Bostmasters and Boat Engineers.
Following the distribution of the SCV Code to Maritime Administrations in the Caribpean, it
vwas suggested that the development of model training courses for Boatmasters and Boat
Engineers could provide guidance ta instructors in delivering these courses and to facilitate
access to the knowledge and skills demanded by increasingly sophisticated maritime
technology,
These courses are flexible in application: maritime institutes and theit teaching staff can use
them in organizing and introducing new courses or in enhancing, updating or supplementing
existing training material in meeting the requirements of the Code, and assist the
establishment of these courses in Caribbean countries. The model courses would also
supplement the training provided by training institutions,
These Model courses may be used by training institutions and the IMO is prepared 19 assist
developing Caribbean countries with implementation when requisite finances are available.

TRAINING COURSES FOR BOATMASTERS
INTRODUCTION
1 Purpose of the Model Training Course for Boatmasters
‘The purpose for the preparation of the Model Training Courses for Boatmasters is to assist
waining providers and teaching staff in organizing and introducing training for persons
intending to operate small commercial vessels (SCV) operating in the Caribbean Sea.
While the intention of these courses is to fulfil the taining and licensing needs of the
operators, their delivery should not be too rigid nor to be followed blindly by the instructor.
The Administration and the instructor must take into consideration the peculiar education and
cultural circumstances and the operating environment, while at the same time being careful
not to diminish the major objective of providing trained and qualified personnel,
As in all training endeavours, the knowledge, skills, competence and dedication of instructors
are the key components in the transfer of knowledge and skills to those undertaking this
training course.
2 Useof the Training Courses
To use the model course effectively, the instructor should review the course plans and
detailed syllabi, taking into account the information provided under entry requirements, which
are specified in the course frameworks. The actual level of knowledge and skills and prior
technical education of the trainee should be considered during this review, and any areas
within the detailed syllabi 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 these differences. the instructor is expected to remove from the course, or
reduce the emphasis on, the items dealing with knowledge or skills already attained by the
trainee. He should also identify any academic knowledge. skills or technical training which
they may not have acquired.
‘The instructor, by analyzing the detailed syllabi and the academic knowledge required to
allow (raining in the (echnical areas to proceed can design an appropriate pre-entry course or,
alternately incorporate elements of academic knowledge required to support the technical
training elements concemned at appropriate points within the technical course.
The course designer, within the course plan, has indicated an assessment of time which should
be allotted (6 each triining area. However, it must be appreciated that these allocations are
arbitrary and they assume that the trainees have fully met all entry requirements of the course.
‘The instructor should therefore review these assessments and may need to reallocate the time
to achieve the specific learning objective.
‘Model Training Courses for Boatmasters 2Mode! Training Course for Boatmasters
The instructor, in making the adjustments which have been mentioned above, should strive to
maintain the integrity of the training courses and their objectives.
3 Lesson Plans
The instructor, having adjusted the course content to suit the trainee intake and any revision of
the course objective, should prepare lesson plans based on the detailed syllabi. Where no
adjustments have been found necessary in the learning objectives of the detailed syllabi, the
lesson plans may consist of the detailed syllabi with key words or other reminders added to
assist the instructor in presenting the material
4 Presentation
‘The presentation of concepts and methodologies must be repeated in various ways until the
instructor is satisfied, by testing and evaluating the trainee’s performance and achievements,
that the trainee has attained each specific learning objectives or training outcome. The syllabi
are laid out in leaning objective format and each objective specities a required performance
or what the trainee must be able to do as the leaming or training outcome, Taken as a whole,
these objectives aim to meet the knowledge, understanding and proficiency specified in the
Code of Safety of Small Commercial Vessels Operating in the Caribbean Sea (SCV Code).
5 Implementation
‘Thorough preparation is the key to the successful implementation of these training courses
and to allow for their smooth and effective running, considerable attention must be paid 10 the
availability and use of the following:
properly qualified instructors
support staff
rooms and other spaces
equipment
text technical papers and audio-visual aids

6 Training and the SCV Code
The Training Courses for Boatmasters are designed to prepare potential masters of small
commercial vessels to allow them to be examined and licensed by the responsible
Administration: These vessels are cargo and passenger vessels of more than five (5) meters
but less than 24 meters in length operating in designated waters in the Caribbean Sea.
‘Model Training Courses for BoatmastersModel Training Course for Boatmasters Introduction
‘The SCV Code which outlines the standards for the training and licensing of Boatmasters by
the Administration also utilizes guidelines which have been established by the Intemational
Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers. 1978 as
amended, The syllabi for the training of Boatmesters, which form part of the Regulations of
the SCV Code, are given at Annex 11 of the Code, while the regulations relating to licensing
are at Part A of Chapter X of the Code,
The SCV Code, among other things, prescribes standards for construction, approved
equipment, emergency equipment, operating procedures and crewing of vessels to which the
Code is applicable.
7 Responsibility of the Administration
‘The delivery of these training courses mus! be approved by the Administration which would
also establish the conditions and standards for examination and the issue of licences.
‘The Administration should ensure that these training courses are delivered by instructors in
such a manner as to ensure that those who complete the training meet the standards of
‘competence required by the SCV Code.
‘Model Training Courses for Boatmasters 4‘Model Training Course for Boatmasters Course Framework
TRAINING COURSES FOR BOATMASTERS
COURSE FRAMEWORK
1 Aim
The aim of this medel course is to mect the mandatory minimum standards of competence for
Boatmaster as required by the SCV code for persons to be in command of a vessel. The
Training Course for:

the following vessels in the locations designated by the Administration.
«1a vessel of less than 24 m in Protected Waters:
2a passenger vessel of less than 12 m in Coastal waters
13. a vessel of less than 24 m other than a passenger vessel in Coastal Waters
Where the Coastal Waters are not so designated, the holder of Boatmaster Grade 2
Licence requires a navigation endorsement from the Administration to operate a vessel
more than 20 nautical miles from a sally refuge; and
3 Beatmaster Grade 1 aims to provide training for persons intending to be in
command of the following vessels in areas designated by the Administration
«1 apassenger vessel up to 24 m operating in Coastal Waters;
.2 any vessel other than a passenger vessel of less than 24m opereting in
Exposed Waters,
2 Objective
‘The objective is to provide trainees with guidance and information to gain knowiedge and
understanding required to achieve the objectives of the learning outcomes to demonstrate their
competence. The syllabi in the model course for the training of Boatmaster Grades 1, 2 and 3
cover the requirements given at Annex 11 of the SCV Code. The candidate, on completing the
Training Course for the cespective Boatmaster Courses and having been successtil in the
relevan: cxemination condueted by the Administration will be deemed competent and
licensed as Boatmaster Grade 1, 2 or 3.
Model Training Courses for Boatmasters 5Model Training Course for Boatmasters Course Framework
In view of the above objective, Bloom's revised taxonomy was used in the model course with
respect to the required performance of trainees.
3 Entry Requirements
‘A candidate secking entry to the taining course for Boatmaster grades, must meet the
requirements of Chapter X/6 of the SCV Code, as applicable.
4 Course Certificate
On successfully completing the training course for Boatmaster 1,2 or 3, the candidate may be
issued a Certificate of Successful Completion by the Training Institution. This would
facilitate the issuance by the Administration of a Boatmaster 1, 2 or 3 License on completion
ofall the components of the required competency.
5 Course Intake limitations
‘The maximum number of trainees attending each session will depend on the availabili
adequate numbers of instructors, equipment and facilities available to conduct the training.
‘The course intake is limited by the number of trainees who can receive adequate individual,
attention irom instructors. However, instructor to trainee ratios of not more than 1:15 for
theoretical sessions and 1: 10 for practical sessions are proposed.
6 Staff Requirements
A\ll training and instruction should be conducted by appropriately qualified personnel. The
Senior instructor should have training and experience as zn instructor and be the holder of:
-l a Certificate of Officer in Charge of 2 Navigational Watch to conduct the
Boatmaster Grade 3 course;
2 an Officer in Charge of a Navigational Watch Certificate to conduct the
Boatmaster Grade 2 course:
3 aChief Mate Certificate to conduct the Boatmaster Grade 1 or
4 an equivalent certification approved by the Administration.
The average ratio of instructor to trainee as noted in S aboye should always be borne in mind
When satisfying the staff requirements for theoretical and practical training,
7 Training Facilities and Equipment
‘Model Training Courses for Boatmasters 6Model ‘Training Course for Boatmasters Course Framework
Class room ficilities should be available to accommodate the class size comfortably and
provided with appropriate equipment for teaching the theory and holding group discussions.
Computer genereted materials and other similar aids appropriate for the course should also be
available to supplement lecture notes and materials.Ship models and lighting systems with
lights of the appropriate colours and demonstration table should be available to support
lectures in Regulations for the Prevention of Collision at Sea.
‘A flnetionel and serviceable jetty and a fully equipped and operating vessel similar to that on
which the successful candidate will function should be available to accommodate subject
‘reas such as Boat Handling, Emergency Procedures, Regulations for the Prevention of
collision at Sea, Seamanship, Passenger Safety and Engineering Knowledge. In addition, @
Mechanical Workshop equipped with demonstration engines, tools and diagnostic equipment
to support the area of Engineering Knowledge should be availabic. Rope and wires of the
appropriate types and sizes and the necessary tools and equipment should be available for
practical exercises in Seamanship and Rope Work.
Considering the development in technology and training aids, the need for a functional vessel
may be replaced by a suitable simulator as approved by the Administration. Use of simulators
is also recommended in evaluation and assessment of candidates underpinning knowledge.
8 Instruetor’s Manual
‘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 Boatmaster 1,2 & 3 in
accordance with Annex LL of the SCV Code.
The course outlines and timetables, which include both theoretical and practical sessions,
provide guidance and time allocations for the course materials. However, the instructor is free
to make adjustments as necessary to facilitate circumstances which may be peculiar to the
situation and environment. The detailed teaching syllabus must be studied carefully and
Jesson plans or lecture notes compiled where appropriete in accordance with the related
Detailed Teaching Syilabus.
Relative to to practical and other specialized aspects of the training, the instructor is advised
to fully acquaint and inform trainees in good time of particular requirements.
9 Evaluation
The effectiveness of any evaluation depends upon the accuracy of the description of what is to
be measured. The leaming objectives used in the detailed syllabus will provide a sound basis
for the construction of suitable tests for evaluating the trainee progress.
Model Training Courses for Boatmasters 7Model Training Course for Bostmasters Course Framework
Evaluation/Assessment should be planned to assess if the learning objectives have been
achieved. It enables instructors to ascertain if trainees have gained the required skills and
knowledge needed at a given point to effectively demonstrate their competence to perform the
tasks set out,
al Assessment Planning
The methods chosen to carry out an evaluation will depend on what the trainee is,
expected to achieve in terms of knowledge, comprehension and application of the
course content. Assessment planning should be set out in specific, measurable,
achievable, realistic and time-hound (SMAR'T) terms. Some methods of assessment
that could be used are as follows, and should be adapted to suit the needs; ~
© Objective testing (short answer testing, multiple choice (MCQ), true / false).
Use of appropriate “distractors” is recommended in case of M
© Observation (In Oral examination, Simulation exercises, Practical
demonstration)
© Summative assessment (It is designed to measure a (rainee's achievement
against defined objectives and performance targets. It may take the form of an
exam or an assignment and takes place at the end of a course).
Where the course content is aimed at the acquisition of practical skills, the test would
involve a practical demonstration by the trainee making use of appropriate equipment,
tools, ete.
The selection of assessment methods should come from the learning outcomes of the
course. The assessments may therefore consist of:
© the recall of facts information by vive-vace or objective tests
© the practical demonsiration of an attained skill
the oral or written description of procedures or activities
the iderification and use of data from sketches, drawings, maps, charts, etc.
carrying out of calculations to solve numerical problems
the writing of an essay report
All work assessed should be valid, authentic, current, sufficient, and reliable
(VACSR) ~ "valid assessments create standard results”.
+ Valid —the work is relevant to the stancards/criteria being assessed
'* Authentic — the work has been produced solely by the leamer
© Current—the work is
till relevant at the time of assessment
+ Sufficient ~ the work covers all the standards/eriterie
Model Training Courses for Boatmasters 8Model Training Course for Boatmasters Course Framework
10
# Reliable - the work is consistent across all leamers, aver time and at the
required level
2 Creating Assessments
The examination should assess each trainee's comprettension of principles, concepts
and methodology; ability to organize facts, ideas and arguments: and competence and
kill in carrying out those tasks they will be called upon to perform as part of their
duties on board, the responsibilities for which they will require to be certificated.
All evaluation and testing techniques have their advantages and disadvantages;
therefore, an examining authority should carefully analyse precisely what should
tested and can be tested. A careful selection of test and evaluation methods should
‘thus be made to ensure that the most relevant techniques available are used for the
Teaming outcome or ability to be tested. An examination system should effectively test
the breadth of knowledge, understanding and proficiency of the subject areas pertinent
to the tasks the trainees are expected to undertoke on board, as it is not possible to
examine trainees fully in all areas. In effect, the examination samples a traince’s
knowledge, understanding and proficiency by covering, as wide a scope as is possible,
within the time constraints and testing the trainee's depth of knowledge, understanding
and proficiency in selected areas, particularly those that are critical to safety.
Checklist for oral and practical assessments should be utilized.
Irrespective of which type of test is used, it is essential that all questions or test items
used should be as brief as possible, since the time taken to read the questions.
themselves lengthens the examination, Questions must also be clear and complere, To
ensure this, itis necessary that they be reviewed by a person other than the originator.
No extraneous information should be incorporated into questions. In all cases, the
questions should be checked to ensure that they measure an objective which is
essential to the task concemed.
Feedback
In order to keep the training programme up to date and continuously meet expectations of the
trainees and industry, it is essential for users to provide feedback. Such feedback must be
collected in line with the training institutes quality management system.
