Delivery should be guided by the 10 basic principles of competency-based Safety Projects International Inc standards. The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency standards; Learning is modular in its structure; Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate individualized and self-paced learning strategies; Training is based on work that must be performed; Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the curriculum modules; Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work to the industry required standard; Training program is based both on and off the job components; Allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current competencies; Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and Approved training programs are Nationally Accredited. The competency-based system recognizes various types of delivery modes, both on and off-the-job as long as the learning is driven by the competency standards specified by the industry. The following training modalities may be adopted when designing training programs: The dualized mode of training delivery is preferred and recommended. Thus programs would contain both in-school and in-industry training or fieldwork components. Details can be referred to the Dual Training System (DTS) Implementing Rules and Regulations. Modular/self-paced learning is a competency-based training modality wherein the trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace. The trainer facilitates the training delivery Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality wherein fast learners are given the opportunity to assist the slow learners. Supervised industry training or on-the-job training is an approach in training designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the trainee through actual experience in the workplace to acquire specific competencies prescribed in the training regulations. Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority of the instruction occurs when the students and instructor are not in the same place. Distance learning may employ correspondence study, or audio, video or computer technologies. 78 _______________________________________________________________________________________ © 2010 Safety Projects International Inc -ENGINE SEAFARING Level III Project-Based Instruction is an authentic instructional model or strategy in which students plan, implement and evaluate projects that have real world applications. 3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS This section specifies the qualifications of trainees and educational experience.

A Certificate of Competency (COC) is issued to candidate who has satisfactory demonstrated units of competency with employment opportunities but short of a fullpromulgated qualification. 1. Candidate wanting to be certified will have to be assessed in accordance with the requirements identified in the evidence guide of the relevant unit/s of competency. As a rule, the unit/s of competency shall be the benchmark for all assessment under the Training Regulations for Maritime Sector. 2. Candidate must have completed the prescribed course of instruction / all the units of competency contained in the maritime program or with equivalent sea service experience before applying for assessment and certification for National Certificate Level and STCW Certificate. The following are qualified to apply for assessment and certification: 2.1. Applying for National Certification ■ Those who have completed SPI Seafarer Rating Courses; or ■ Graduates of formal education or non-formal programs; or ■ Seafarers with a minimum of 6 months to one-year sea service experience. 2.2. Applying for STCW Certification – Certificate of Competency ■ Those who have completed the Seafarer Rating Course with 2 months on board training in a vessel of 500 GT or 750 KW on watchkeeping duties ; or ■ Those who have had at least 6 months sea service experience and 2 months of which should be on watchkeeping duties aboard a merchant vessel of 500 GT or 750 KW ; or ■ Experienced Seafarer with one-year sea service experience onboard merchant vessel of 500 GT or 750 KW and 2 months of which is associated with watchkeeping duties. 3 Candidates who found to be competent under the qualification for Engine Seafaring as contained in Section 1 shall be awarded with the corresponding International Certificate and Certificate of Competency (COC) levels of certification. However, COC will be only for Watchkeeping. 82 _______________________________________________________________________________________ © 2010 Safety Projects International Inc -ENGINE SEAFARING Level III 4 Candidates for a COC on Watchkeeping shall be required to undergo assessment using the following assessment methodologies intended for the said unit of competency : DEFINITION OF TERMS 1. Oxy-Acetylene Welding (GasWelding) a group of process done by heating the metal with gas flame or flames, with or without pressure and with or without filler metal 2. TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) an arc welding process in which metal are fused with an arc between a single non consumable tungsten electrode and to work 3. Acetylene a colorless gas produced by combining hydrogen and carbon widely used with oxygen as a fuel for welding. 4. Arc Welding a group of welding processes where welding is done by heating the metal with an electric arc or arcs, with or without applying pressure and with or without using filler metal. 5. Brazing a group of welding processes where welding is done by heating the base metal to a suitable temperature and using a filler metal with a liquid temperature above 800 degrees Fahrenheit and below solid temperature of the base metals. 6. Capillary Action the interaction between contacting surfaces of a liquid and a solid where the liquid surface is no longer flat. 7. Non-Ferrous metals which contains little or no iron. 8. Metallurgy the science of extracting metals from ores for industrial use. 9. Oxygen a colorless, odorless substance which supports combustion and combines readily with other elements. 10. Soldering a process where the metals are joined by heating to a suitable temperature, using a solder with a liquid temperature below the solid temperature of the base metal. 11. MIG ( Manganese Inert Gas) an arc welding process done by heating to metal with an arc between continuous, consumable, filler, metal electrode and the work piece. 83 _______________________________________________________________________________________ © 2010 Safety Projects International Inc -ENGINE SEAFARING Level III 12. Shaper is a metal removing machine. The cutting tool is moved in a horizontal plane by a ram having a reciprocating motion and it cuts only on the forward stroke. 13. Milling is a power driven machine that cuts metal by means of a multi-tooth rotating cutting. The machine is constructed in such a manner that the work piece is fed to a rotary cutter, instead of revolving as on a lathe, or reciprocating as on a planner. 14. Drilling is a removal of solid metals to form a circular hole. 15. Precision Measuring Tools refers to micrometer and caliper. 16. Special Measuring Tools Refers to sign bar, gage blocks, dial indicator surface comparator and the entire tool which are not classified as linear, round work or precision measuring tools. 84 _______________________________________________________________________________________ © 2010 Safety Projects International Inc -ENGINE SEAFARING Level III
