 INTRODUCTION
IN 2010, THE IMO CONVENTION ON
STANDARDS OF TRAINING, CERTIFICATION
AND WATCHKEEPING FOR SEAFARERS
(STCW) WAS REVISED AND UPDATED. THIS
ISF TRAINING RECORD BOOK TAKES FULL
ACCOUNT OF THE NEW REQUIREMENTS
FOR DECK CADETS, INCLUDING NEW
COMPETENCES FOR ECDIS (ELECTRONIC
CHART DISPLAY AND INFORMATION
SYSTEMS), LEADERSHIP AND
TEAMWORKING, AND PROACTIVE
MEASURES TO PROTECT THE MARINE
ENVIRONMENT. 15
THE STCW CODE, WHICH CONTAINS
THE DETAILED REQUIREMENTS OF
THE REVISED STCW CONVENTION.
SETS OUT UNIFORM STANDARDS FOR
THE ATTAINMENT OF COMPETENCES
IN THE VARIOUS MARITIME SKILLS
REQUIRED TO QUALIFY AS A
WATCHKEEPING OFFICER. THE STCW
CODE ALSO STIPULATES CRITERIA BY
WHICH A TRAINEE'S ATTAINMENT OF
THESE COMPETENCES SHOULD BE
ASSESSED BY DESIGNATED ON
BOARD TRAINING OFFICERS.
16
THE TASKS CONTAINED IN THIS
RECORD BOOK HAVE BEEN
CAREFULLY DESIGNED TO HELP
ENSURE THAT TRAINEES MEET
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
CERTIFICATION STIPULATED BY
THE STCW COMPETENCES' AND
THAT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE THE
OFFICERS SUPERVISING THEIR

STCW CODE.
17
THE TASKS HAVE BEEN ARRANGED
WITH ON BOARD TRAINING IN MIND.
THE TRAINING TASKS AND
ASSOCIATED CRITERIA ARE, IN MANY
INSTANCES, PRESENTED IN MORE
DETAIL THAN IN THE TEXT OF THE
CONVENTION.
THIS IS TO HELP ENSURE THAT
TRAINEES MAKE THE BEST USE OF
THEIR SEAGOING SERVICE AND TO
HELP OFFICERS SUPERVISING
TRAINEES MAKE AN OBJECTIVE
EVALUATION OF WHETHER THEY ARE
INDEED COMPETENT.
