Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to contribute to a safe engine watch on a vessel while under the direction of the officer in charge of the engineering watch.This unit applies to an Integrated Rating or Able Seafarer-Engine, who assists, under the direction of the officer in charge of the engineering watch, in performing engine watchkeeping duties. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Assessment of engine watchkeeping duties must occur in workplace operational situations. Where this is not available, in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Resources for assessment include access to:

relevant documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

tools, equipment and personal protective equipment that replicate and are currently used in industry

firefighting equipment including:

fixed gas systems

fixed water systems

portable extinguishers

alarms including:

bilge

boiler level and pressure

fire extinguishing gas alarms

temperature.
