PHILIPPINE MEASURES
Immediate Measures
2.
In compliance with Section 5 of
STCW Circular Nos. 2018-08 and
2018-09,
the
Administration
implements
Theoretical
Examination
(computer-aided
test) and Practical Assessment
(with the aid of laboratory
equipment or simulator). To ensure
the effective implementation of
the practical assessment, one of
the criteria to be evaluated by the
Board of Examiners is the
appropriateness of the laboratory
equipment or simulator including
its
specification,
operational
capabilities, and limitations, if any.
If using a simulator, the BOE
ensures that it satisfies the General
Performance
Standards
for
Simulators used in Assessment of
Competence in section A-I/12-part 1
paragraph 2.

Other criteria to be evaluated by
the BOE are the Practical
Assessment Scenario Title to
ensure its relevance to the
competence and KUP to be
assessed; and Scenario Description
which refers to the detailed
situation, event or incident that
occurs onboard ship, which is used
as means to allow the candidate to
demonstrate his/her competence
on the task based on established
performance
criteria
and
standards.
The BOE ensures that the scenario
description
simulates
actual
situations normally encountered
onboard
ship
such
as
environmental conditions, climatic
conditions, operational challenges
appropriate to the assessment
outcome, including the time and
sequence
of
events,
and
geographical location or sea area.
The use of realistic scenarios in the
design and implementation of the
assessment ensures that the
actual tasks to be performed by the
candidates are aligned with the
outcome and criteria of the
assessment
exercise
being
performed.
KEY AREA 3
To ensure uniform validation of
practical assessment scenarios,
MARINA has established and
approved on 15 February 2021 the
Criteria for Evaluating Practical
Assessment
Scenarios
with
corresponding definitions and
indicators (Attachment 47). The
criteria include the use of
laboratory equipment or simulator
in the assessment, including its
specification,
operational
capabilities, and limitations, if any.
Further, this document serves as a
guide for Assessment Centers
(during self-assessment phase)
and MARINA’s Board of Examiners
(during documentary review and
inspection) in evaluating the
scenarios to ensure completeness
and
alignment
with
the
Competency Mapping.
