2022 PHILIPPINE RESPONSE - Report - Page 52
KEY AREA 1
Maritime Administration
Structure of ancillary courses
SHORTCOMING 2
The Philippines’ authorities do not ensure
that all ancillary training courses are
structured in accordance with written
programmes, and included the methods
and media of delivery, procedures, and
course material as necessary to fully
achieve the prescribed standards of
competence, as required by the STCW
Code.
The review/evaluation of the program and course design,
review and approval identified several grievances. In particular:
Grievance 3
Insufficient structure of design and approval of
mandatory STCW training courses and refresher
courses
MARINA, as required by EO No. 63, needs to conduct several
activities for approving training required by Chapter VI of the
STCW Convention in accordance with the national regulations,
namely MARINA STCW Circular No. 2018-2 and STCW Advisory
No. 2019-5. Those activities included verification that the
training and refresher courses submitted by the Maritime
Training Institutions (MTIs) for approval complied with the
national standards for each course established and specified
by MARINA.
