The purpose of this course is to provide knowledge and guidance to those who may be designated to perform the duties and responsibilities of a ship’s officer on board merchant ships.
 
This course is primarily intended for any person conducting in-service assessment of competence of a seafarer on board. These would usually comprise senior shipboard officers (management level) but may also be suitable for shipboard personnel at operational level or experienced shore-based instructors with sufficient on-board expertise. 
The course is of limited duration and therefore cannot be considered as providing comprehensive assessor training, which would take much longer. However, the course does include the many principles of developing and implementing a shipboard assessment system. In the introductory part, the course reviews IMO model courses, their purpose and usage. In subsequent parts, the course expands on the development of a competence-based assessment system and identifying and selecting performance measures and standards. The main part of the course deals with the techniques of conducting the assessment and developing a performance improvement plan. 
The learning style of the course is participative. About 45% of the course time is allocated to exercises. It is recommended these exercises be performed in groups of four or five participants.
 
Participants successfully completing the training course on shipboard assessment should be capable of undertaking all of the responsibilities expected of assessors within their field of expertise. They will be familiarized with the concepts generally taken into account when developing a suitable assessment package for a particular type of ship. 
The model course aims at transferring knowledge and skills for participants to administer, supervise and monitor training and assessment of seafarer competence in accordance with the provisions of section A-I/6 of the STCW Code. 
A participant successfully completing the course will be able to: 
apply the international provisions concerning the training and assessment of officers and ratings on board ships; 
apply the international provisions in the context of national law; 
determine effective assessment methodologies; and 
organize, administer and conduct on-board assessment.
 
There are no specific entry standards for the training in this course. The training is mandatory for all prospective seafarers, who should complete this basic training before being assigned to any shipboard duties.
The educational qualification level of the course participant must correspond to the level of a working diploma (certificate) in accordance with the STCW Regulations on the awarding of ranks to officers.
Diploma holders in the field of ship officer are admitted to the training program for seafarers and mechanics with at least 6 months of practical experience in keeping watch on the bridge and in the engine room as a watch assistant to the captain and watch mechanic.
Each candidate for the certificate must provide evidence that he or she has achieved the required standard of competence in accordance with the methods of demonstrating competence and the criteria for assessing competence.
