candidates
to
achieve
the
competence “Transmit and receive

laboratory of PNTC Colleges,
Cristal
E-College
and
the
University of Cebu. These are
indispensable for demonstration
purposes to achieve the abovementioned competence. The
necessity to have the knowledge
of EPIRB and SART available is
also reflected by SOLAS in

equipment consistent with the
standard specified in Table A-III/1
for
achieving
the
abovementioned competences. The
automation laboratory does not
have

and
demonstration relevant to the
corresponding
standards
of
