Industry Background
India is a large manpower supplier to the International Shipping Industry and is reputed for providing highly qualified and well trained personnel to work on Indian owned as well as foreign owned merchant ships. Indian Officers are also employed as
managers and technical experts in shipping companies all over the world. Statistics available from the authorative sources suggest that an Indian Officer will continue to be in demand in the foreseeable future but not without stiff competition from officers of other nationalities. Realising the need of the industry and to ensure that its training programs continue to be of the highest quality, the School of Engineering and Technology (SOET) of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), in collaboration of the Directorate General of Shipping has developed this vocational training program which includes a combination of strong underpinning, knowledge of marine subjects, practical application of the theory and correct attitude. Aims and Objectives of the Training Program
This training program aims at preparing the candidates to face with fortitude and endurance, the hardships of life at sea and to inspire in them a sense of devotion to duty, feeling of good will & comradeship, which is essential for the life at sea.
The programme is of Six Semesters, of which first five are of six months duration and the Sixth Semester is of four months duration. First two Semesters i.e. 1 year is on-shore training which is designed to impart basic knowledge on the type of merchant ships, ship operations, types of goods carried by
ship, shipping trade and a good foundation in the basic principles of navigation and environmental science. During, the subsequent three semesters, candidates are trained on the job i.e. onboard a ship in the practical application of the theory learnt. Sixth and final semester is conducted at an approved Training Institute. The emphasis during this semester is to prepare the candidate for the examination of 2nd Mate Certificate of Competency conducted by the Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Shipping. On successful completion of this examination, the candidate is awarded a degree in B. Sc. (Nautical Science) and a Certificate of Competency which enables him to become an officer on a merchant ship. 18 Credits are awarded on successful completion of each Semester i.e. a total 108 credits (18 X 6) would be required for award of B. Sc. (Nautical Science) degree.
The Program is to be divided into three stages:

Introduction
School of Engineering & Technology (SOET), Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) New Delhi in collaboration with the Directorate General of Shipping have developed this onboard training programme.
On successful completion of various tasks to the satisfaction of the Master of the vessel, the Officers nominated by him & IGNOU, the Cadet will be eligible to appear for the semester end examinations and qualify himself for the award of “Advanced Diploma in Nautical Science”.
The tasks contained in this Record Book have been carefully designed to help ensure
that Cadets meet the requirements for certification stipulated under the “competences” and that as far as possible the Officers supervising their training use the criteria for evaluation based on Table A-II/1 of the STCW Code. However, the tasks have been arranged with on board training in mind. The tasks do not cover areas which are normally covered in Stage I of the Cadet’s training.
Completion of this Book will not itself constitute an official assessment of competence. However, completion of the Onboard Training Record Book, Journals, & other written material should provide sufficient documentary evidence that a

Object of the Record Book
The purpose of this Record Book is to help ensure that Cadets follow a structured programme of training and make the best use of their time at sea. In so doing they will gain the practical training and experience
necessary to become competent
Watchkeeping deck officers in accordance with the STCW Convention as amended in 1995. It is therefore important that the following guidance is carefully followed. Given that this Training Record Book will be submitted to IGNOU appointed examiners (and may also be made available to instructors at maritime training colleges) proper use and completion of this Record Book is essential. It should be subject to close scrutiny by the Masters of the ships on which the Cadet serves, by the Cadet’s designated onboard Training Officers and the Shipping Company.
On receipt of this Book:
• The Cadet should complete the information required on pages 11 and 12,
including details of Basic Training received in accordance with the STCW Convention. The Cadet will then be personally responsible for the safe keeping of this Record Book throughout training.
• Section 3, concerning details of Mandatory Safety Familiarisation (page
41) and Mandatory Shipboard
Familiarisation (page 42), should be completed immediately after the Cadet joins each ship. An Officer should sign to signify that mandatory familiarisation as required by the 1995 STCW Convention has been undertaken.
As soon as possible after joining each ship:
• The Cadet should complete Section 4 (page 44) concerning the technical details of the vessel. The Master and the STO onboard each ship should provide an opportunity for this exercise to be undertaken.
• The STO should inspect this Book in order to check progress already made. A plan should be made to tackle the
competences that still need to be demonstrated.
Throughout the Cadet’s seagoing
service:
• Section 6, which contains a
comprehensive list of onboard training tasks, should be progressively completed. Additional guidance on recording progress is given at the start of Section 6, on page 52.
• The Task Summary Chart on page 23 is to be used for recording tasks or duties completed. It should be kept up to date. The Chart can be used for planning the achievement of training tasks or duties which still have to be completed.
• The Book should be submitted to the
Master for inspection every
month/quarter and at the end of each contract/tenure. The Master’s comments should be recorded, dated and stamped on page 18. Comments should only relate to the Cadet’s competence and practical progress.
• The Book should be submitted to the STO on joining each vessel and then
on page 14.
• A precise record should be kept on the Cadet’s seagoing service including time spent on Steering (see page 86), Port Watches (see page 91) and Bridge Watchkeeping duties (see page 111 ) • In addition to practical training,
throughout seagoing service Cadets should practise their knowledge of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (see page 50).
• Cadets are also expected to complete Practical Shipboard Tasks as given in Section 7 (see page 149) and Reinforcement of Theory Topic Tasks as given in Section 8 (see page 156).
Important note
The STCW Convention
requires that any person conducting onboard training shall do so only when it will not adversely affect the normal operation of the ship and time can be dedicated to the training
and any evaluation of

List of Training Tasks and
Competences Achieved
This section of your Record Book gives details of the training tasks that you should follow to make best use of your time at sea. You will see that each page lists the tasks or duties you should undertake. Completion of these will lead to meeting the competences. A senior Officer should review your progress and indicate, with initials and date in the box on the right hand side of the page, that your performance is considered to meet the Criteria for Evaluation and that competence has been demonstrated in that element. The Officer may offer advice on areas in which improvement is necessary.
The competences required by a
Watchkeeping officer as tabulated in the STCW Code are as listed below:
Competences for officers in charge of a navigational watch on ships of 500 gross tonnage or more (STCW Code Table A-II/1):
Function: Navigation
Plan and conduct a passage and determine position (page 54, 64 & 73)
Maintain a safe navigational watch and use of radar and ARPA to maintain safety of navigation (page 56 & 65)
Bridge Watchkeeping (page 66)
Function: Cargo Handling and Stowage Plan and ensure safe loading, stowage, securing, care during the voyage, and unloading of cargoes (page 59, 68 & 76) Monitor and control compliance with legislative requirements and measures to ensure safety of life at sea and the protection of marine environment (page 72)
This Book includes an extra section for Cadets (not mentioned in STCW Code Table A-II/1) whose training at sea includes experience on tankers (if applicable):
Function: Controlling the Operation of the Ship and Care for Persons onboard
Respond to emergencies (page 62)
Maintain safety and security of the ship’s crew and passengers and the operational condition of life saving, fire fighting and other safety systems (page 70)
How to complete the list of training tasks and competences achieved:
• The competences specified in the table are directly relevant to the competences required by the STCW Convention. By the
end of the period of seagoing service the Cadet should be recorded as being “considered competent” in as many of these competences as possible.
• The primary tasks are sub-divided into training tasks or duties on the left hand side of the page. The Cadet should complete as many of these training tasks as possible. However, in view of the likely equipment, cargo or voyage pattern of the ship, it is not expected that all these tasks will be completed before the Cadet is considered competent in the primary tasks. It should be noted that some of the skills and knowledge that underpin the competences specified may well have been obtained during shore based training.
• Before the Cadet is recorded “considered competent” for the competences specified the Master or STO may record any appropriate advice about areas for improvement. A large blank space for this purpose is provided beneath the criteria for evaluation.
• As competence in these primary tasks is demonstrated, the appropriate boxes next to the criteria for evaluation, on the far right-hand side of the page, should be signed and dated (day, month and year) by the Officer onboard the ship to attest that the cadet is “considered competent”. • A Cadet’s attainment of the competences
marked should only be recorded as “considered competent” when the master or designated training officer is indeed satisfied that the cadet can perform the duty without supervision or, where
supervise others in the performance of the duty.
• When recording a cadet as “considered competent”, account should be taken of the criteria for evaluation contained on the right hand side of the page, as well as the ordinary practises of seafarers and safe working practises.
