Description
FOR RATINGS PERFORMING PART OF A NAVIGATIONAL WATCH AND RATINGS QUALIFYING AS ABLE SEAFARER DECK.
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 these new requirements for ratings forming part of a navigational watch. This Book also addresses the additional competence standards stipulated by IMO for the grade of Able Seafarer Deck (former known as Able Seaman or AB).
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 rating or an Able Seafarer Deck. The STCW Code also stipulates criteria by which a trainee’s attainment of these competencies should be assessed by designated on board training officers.
Completion of the ISF Training Record Book should provide sufficient documentary evidence that a trainee has completed a properly structured on board training programme and has demonstrated competence in the skills required by the amended STCW Convention in order to be certificated as a rating performing part of a navigational watch and/or as an Able Seafarer Deck.
