CRITERIA ASSESSMENT FOR KNOWLEDGE OF ONE OF THE TWO OFFICIAL LANGUAGES
WHEN TO USE
The Assessment method outlined below is for use when the authorized representative is required to assess the English or French language proficiency of a
foreign seafarer for a Canadian Endorsement, as set out per section 2.5 of the guidance notes contained within the Application for a Canadian Endorsement
form (82-0786). The Checklist should be used to confirm proficiency of English or French and as an auditable record for all foreign seafarers wishing to apply for
a Canadian Endorsement.
THE ASSESSMENT
This Assessment is to be conducted in person, or online if adequate measures are in place to avoid cheating and to ensure the authenticity of the assessment,
with a native English or French speaker (hereinafter “interviewer”). It should consist of 4 separate sections, as defined below, and should last approximately 1
hour in duration. Questions and answers must be noted or when possible, the Assessment should be recorded. When noted, the answers given maybe in the
form of short phrases but it must be sufficiently clear that it can be used as an aide-mémoire for the purpose of the verification by Transport Canada.
The assessment must be conducted at the appropriate level, operational or management, based on the level of responsibility of the certificate of competency for
which the Canadian endorsement is seeking, and not based on the position that the foreign seafarer will be employed.
At the end of the Assessment, all of the criteria should have been evaluated. Where there is doubt as to whether a criteria is being met, there may be a need to
retry during the Assessment, but if the point must be pressed, it should be left as not met.
Section 1 - Oral interview
This should cover general topics, for example career to date, future plans. The questions should enable and encourage discursive responses allowing the foreign
seafarer the chance to ask questions or seek clarification.
This should also cover specific job topics and be tailored to the vocabulary relating to the specific functions to be undertaken by the foreign seafarer. This may
include listening to radio messages, loudspeaker announcements, and should certainly include the testing of comprehension and communication of the types of
orders, statements and requests that the foreign seafarer is likely to hear or have to make.
The interviewer should, at a steady pace, read a passage lasting 3-5 minutes of a maritime nature, e.g. an incident or a procedure. The foreign seafarer may take
notes throughout (in their own language if preferred). The foreign seafarer should be allowed 2-3 minutes to look over their notes and then be asked to describe
the incident in their own words, summarizing the main points.
The foreign seafarer should read a document relating to its specific functions to be undertaken e.g. a publication, a report, manufacturers' manuals or a
procedure. They should be allowed 4-5 minutes to read it and then be asked to describe the document in their own words, summarizing the main points.
The foreign seafarer should write, using marine technical terminology, a document relating to its specific functions e.g. write technical notes or notices to crew,
complete forms and report on daily occurrences in the nautical or engineering department.
This Criteria Checklist is to help establish levels of listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities and are to be filled in each time an English or French language
Assessment is performed on a foreign seafarer wishing to apply for a Canadian Endorsement.
The criterias are to be used as a checklist and where the interviewer decides that a criteria has not been met, then it is to be noted and must be taken into
account in the final result. It will be for the authorized representative (AR) to decide whether failure to meet one or more criteria(s) means the foreign seafarer's
level of English or French would not be sufficient to carry out their functions safely and effectively.
The completed Criteria Checklist and the assessment must be sent with the Application.
