Description
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 team working, and proactive measures to protect the marine environment.
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 watch keeping officer. The STCW Code also stipulates criteria by which a trainee’s attainment of these competencies should be assessed by designated on board training officers.
Normally completion of this Book will not in itself constitute an official assessment of competence. This is the task of government appointed examiners. However, 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 officer in charge of a navigational watch on ships of 500 gross tonnage or more.
