KEY AREA 3
EXAMINATION AND ASSESSMENT OF COMPETENCE
However, in assessments carried
out by Protect Marine Deck and
Engine Officers of the Philippines
for the above competences and
procedures, the instructor made
available
a
mock-up
ship
emergency manual, contingency
plan or other simulated ship
document
(i.e.,
a
safety
management system procedure)
to the candidate. Then the
instructor
questioned
the
candidate about the procedure to
be taken in case of the situation
concerned.
However, the candidate only had
to find the section concerned
with the situation or procedure in
the document made available
and read out loud the list of
actions stated therein. Protect
Marine Deck and Engine Officers
of the Philippines apply this oral
question-and-answer method for
those competences. Using such
method and criteria is not
consistent with the abovementioned methods and criteria
specified in Table A-II/1 of Section
A-II/1 of the STCW Code and,
therefore, does not ensure that
the candidate demonstrated
having met the competences
concerned.
