MODEL COURSES |
The teaching aids are flexible in application: maritime institutes and their teaching staff can use them in organizing and introducing new courses or in enhancing, updating or supplementing existing training material. The programme of model training courses developed out of suggestions from a number of IMO Member Governments, following the adoption of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978. Assisted by contributions from various Governments, IMO has designed the series of courses to help implement this Convention and, further, to facilitate access to the knowledge and skills demanded by increasingly sophisticated maritime technology. The model courses each include a course framework (detailing the scope, objective, entry standards, and other information about the course), a course outline (timetable), a detailed teaching syllabus (including the learning objectives and competences that should have been achieved when the course has been completed by students) and guidance notes for the instructor. Many courses include background information for students in a compendium. TANKER FAMILIARIZATION This course is for officers and key ratings who have not previously served on board an oil tanker.

English T131E ISBN 978-92-801-51183 £30 OPERATIONAL USE OF INTEGRATED BRIDGE SYSTEMS INCLUDING INTEGRATED NAVIGATION
SYSTEMS The safe and efficient use at sea of integrated bridge systems (IBS) and integrated navigation systems (INS) requires a level of knowledge byond that normally given in the training of an officer in charge of a navigational watch. It is not just a matter of learning to use new controls, display techniques or how to switch on and off automatic functions. More importantly, it is learning the decision making processes that must be applied in order to gain the full benefits of the integration in a safe manner and avoid the new problems that automatic controls and integrated systems can sometimes provoke. This model course has been designed recognizing that integrated bridge systems and integrated navigation systems are a voluntary installation on vessels and they differ significantly in their configuration and operation from vessel to vessel. They can also interconnect to other bridge equipment and systems, which may be compulsorily fitted to vessels, as part of SOLAS or other requirements. English T132E ISBN 978-92-801-42037 £20 SAFETY OF FISHING OPERATIONS The standards of competence that have to be met by fishermen are defined in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Fishing Vessel Personnel (STCW-F).

On meeting the minimum standard of competence in fishing operations, a trainee will be competent to undetstand the fishing methods and associated fishing gear and to safetly engage in fishing operation under the supervision of an experienced deckhand. The course is open to all fishing vessel personnel that are to serve on board seagoing fishing vessels. There are no particular educational entry requirements.

Courses based on this Model Course may be standalone and as such will be useful for updating existing watch keeping staff. For seafarers who are training to become an Officer of the Watch (OOW) it is good practice to ensure an appropriate level of integration between this model course and Model Course 1.07 (Radar navigation, radar plotting and use of ARPA) and Model Course 7.03 (Officer in charge of a navigational watch). Training colleges undertaking such a course will need a simple AIS simulator and a radar target tracker (ARPA) simulator with AIS display capabilities. System requirements are discussed under ’Teaching facilities and equipment’ in Part A of this model course. A detailed discussion on simulator exercises is given in the final section of Part D.
