CPT KYPROS MARITIME TRAINING CENTER

This model course comprises three functions at the management level. On Successful Completion of the course and the requisite watch-keeping experience, officers will prepared for taking full responsibility for the safety of the ship, its passengers , crew and Cargo. They will be aware of their obligations under international agreements and conventions concerning safety and the protection of the marine environment and will be prepared for taking the practical measures necessary to meet those obligations. In this model course , One combined course has been written for both Masters and Chief Officers.

The material is set out assuming that trainees have previously completed the operational level training content required for watch-keeping officer and they have some watch-keeping experience. This does not preclude some of the content for both levels being run within the same training course but it is very important that trainees are familiar with the operational level content before attempting to develop the management level competence outlined in this model course.  

This model course comprises four functions at the management level. On Successful completion of the course and the requisite watch-keeping experience, officers will be prepared for taking full responsibility for the safely of the ship, its passengers, crew and cargo. They will be aware of their obligations under international agreements and conventions concerning safety and the protection of the marine environment and will be prepared for taking the practical measures necessary to meet those obligations. In this model course, one combined course has been written for both chief engineer officer and second engineer officer. The material is set out so that it can be run separately from the course for officer in charge of an engineering watch, but this is not intended to imply that it has to be run separately. It has been written in this manner so as to give Administrations the opportunity to arrange a structure best suited to their needs. The teaching schemes should be carefully scrutinized to ensure that all of the tabulated training outcomes are covered, that repetition is avoided and that essential underpinning knowledge at any stage has already been covered. A certain amount of duplication under different subjects will probably occur, provided it is not excessive, the different approaches can provide useful reinforcement of work already learned. Care should be taken to see that items not included in the syllabus or treatment beyond the depth indicated by the objectives have not been introduced except where necessary to meet additional requirements of the administration. The teaching scheme should be adjusted to be take account of those matters and the timing of any modular courses (Such as training in Fire Fighting, which are not be included.
