CoursewareThe cadet will be given the following Materials by
NTC-M, Cadet Project.
QuestionnaireQuestions for the entire programme will be given
upon reporting of cadet at NTC-M prior to the endorsement to the
Company for line up. The questions are with reference to the ISF
TRB task and additional questions. The questions in the question
bank are laid out under the following headings. CRB Task Related
CRB Task If similar questions exist elsewhere in the CRB or the ISF
TRB the related task number should be indicted for cross reference.
Questions with reference to the CRB / ISF-TRB Reference- gives the
reference books, manual, person, etc, which the cadet may consult,
preferably before carrying out the task and answering the relevant
questions. Marks Indicates the allotted marks for each of the
questions. Remarks This column comprise of icons that will guide
the Cadet in addressing the question. The following icons have been
used:
DRAWING
The cadet is required to sketch/draw neatly to demonstrate his
understanding of the task. Marks will be deducted for
unsatisfactory drawings
HANDS-ON
The focus here is to get practical hands-on experience on the
task. The cadet should be able to satisfy the assessors that he can
practically achieve the task
WORK SAFETY
Some of the task will require Safety Precautions. The cadets are
reminded that safety is our outmost importance and should take
priority when doing any task Cadets are encouraged to think and use
common sense when attempting all tasks, especially the ones marked.
Cadets are expected to use their initiative and ingenuity when
carrying out the tasks NTC-M encourages the cadet to be independent
and perform the task with as little assistance as possible,
especially when 1 person can do the task. However, it should be
understood that some task can only be done with assistance and in
such cases, appropriate help should be sought. Some tasks are
required to be inspected personally by the STO. The STO should
affix his signature in the workbook after satisfying himself that
the task has been done satisfactorily. Page 4 of 9
THINK & ANSWER
ASSISTANCE NEEDED STOs SIGNATURE REQUIRED
CARE REQUIRED QUESTION INVOLES CALCULATION IMO DOCUMENTS
In the course of his training, the cadet may be required to
handle delicate equipment/operation. All care must be taken into
consideration to prevent any damage to the equipment when carrying
out such tasks. This icon signifies numerical calculation.
Scientific calculators may be used but cadets should not use any
computer programs or special navigation calculators to arrive at
the answers. The icon signifies that the cadet can refer to IMO
documents like SOLAS, MARPOL, etc. IMO rules govern every aspect of
shipboard equipment and shipboard operation. Getting an overview of
these rules will give the cadet a wellrounded perspective of the
subject.
Monthly workbooks7 Workbooks (including familiarization) will be
used for every stage. Monthly Workbook 1 Familiarization Workbook
The questions on familiarization should be answered in the first
month for every ship that the cadet joins. The Cadet is not
encouraged to answer any of the other tasks. However, if some
important tasks have been assigned to the Cadet and if this is an
answer to a task, then such answer should be filled up in Workbook
no. 2. Monthly Workbooks 2-7 Cadets should take note that he would
also be required to answer task relating Deck knowledge, Tanker
Work, Dry Dock and Shipping Practice in their respective workbooks,
in addition to the Monthly Workbook tasks. The cadets shall answer
the following number of tasks per Monthly workbook: During Stage 1
: Minimum 32 task per month During Stage 2 and 3 : Minimum 23 task
per month The Cadet should request STO to sign the relevant task in
the respective sections of the CRB. The Cadet should take note that
1 task may comprise of several sub-task. For the purpose of
satisfying the criteria for minimum number of task, one task shall
be considered as all the sub tasks and sub-sub-task included in the
main task given in the first column of the questionnaire. The Cadet
should complete the workbook by the end of the month and dispatch
it to NTC-M. (E.g. if the Cadet joins on the 5th of March, the
familiarization workbook should be dispatched on the 5th of April
or first port of call thereafter. The remaining workbooks (2-7)
should be dispatched around 5th of every subsequent month). The
Cadet should fill all the relevant vessel particulars in the Vessel
data sheet of the Cadet Record Book or the ISF- TRB and attached a
copy of this sheet to the familiarization workbook. Every workbook
has the STO evaluation Sheet and this shall be filled by the STO
after discussing with the Cadet. The Chief Officer should approve
the report by signing the same.
Dry Docking WorkbookOne dry docking workbook will be issued to
the cadet, prior joining the first ship. This workbook shall be
completed and dispatched to NTC-M within 30 days of completing the
dry dock. If none of his ships go to the dry dock, then,
theoretical answers shall be given and the same dispatched.
Tanker WorkbookOne (1) Tanker workbook shall be issued to the
Cadet, prior joining a Tanker or prior his last ship as a Cadet. At
least 50% of the tanker Work Task shall be answered and submitted
after the 4th Month along with the 4th Monthly Workbook. The
remaining task should be addresses in the Second workbook and sent,
latest, along with the 8th Monthly workbook. If however, he
completes the Tanker Task earlier, he may submit the Tanker
Workbook earlier.
Page 5 of 9
If Cadet is not assigned a tanker for the entire period of the
SSTP, then, and only then, will he be allowed to give theoretical
answers for the questions.
Navigation workbookOne workbook will be issued for the entire
period as a cadet. This book will be divided into sections for
sights, azimuths, amplitudes, course, distance and miscellaneous
navigation calculations. All calculations should be done using
tables and scientific calculators. It is emphasized that cadets
should get adequate practice in using the sextant and be familiar
with traditional methods of navigation in addition to using modern
electronic navigation aids. The cadet shall request the STO or OOW
to sign at the bottom of the page after verifying each
calculation.
Daily workbookOne workbook shall be issued for every stage of
sea service. The purpose of this workbook is to document the daily
work assigned to a cadet. The cadet shall describe the learning
achieved by doing the daily work. The Cadet shall request STO to
validate entries by signing after every week.
Training LogOne training log will be issued to the Cadet for the
entire period of the SSTP. The Cadet shall enter details of every
Drill, Video, CBT and other training carried out on ship. The Cadet
shall make a summary of the learning attained and document it in
this book. The training Log shall be shown to NTC-M for evaluation
after sea service.
Shipping PracticeOne shipping Practice workbook will be issued
to the Cadet prior joining the first ship. The purpose of this
module is to give the Cadet an exposure to the commercial aspects
from the cadets perspective.
Engineering KnowledgeOne Engineering Knowledge Workbook will be
issued to the cadet. The purpose of this module is to give the
cadet an exposure to the general Engineering Knowledge from a
cadets perspective.
Port logThis workbook will be issued to the cadet at the time of
registration for the programme. The cadet on each ship shall carry
this log. The cadet shall fill in all the details of each terminal
visited. A small map is also appended in the last few pages,
wherein, the cadet shall indicate the route of the ship followed on
each voyage. It is advisable to use different colours for different
voyages. The cadet is encouraged to paste photographs of the ports,
if permitted, in the space provided. The cadet need not repeat the
details if he calls the same ports more than ones. However, if he
has any new entries to make then he shall write the same in the
port. This log shall be shown to Assessor for evaluation after
tenure.
Project WorkbookOne Project Workbook will be issued for every
month. The purpose of a Project will be to get-in depth knowledge
of a particular subject after referring to the instruction manual,
experience of various shipboard and shore staff, internet, etc. It
will be most appropriate to write about some work being done on
board or an experience that the vessel undergoes. Project will be
elaborate and contain sufficient photographs and drawing to explain
and support the text.
All the above materials may be inspected by the assessors and
therefore should be retained by the Cadet at least until the Cadet
Secures his certificate of Competency.
