Requirements
3.1 Watchkeeping certificates
After the effective date, all candidates for their first engineering
certificate will be required to show, in addition to the normal
"testimonials of service", a successfully completed Marine Safety
approved training record book.
The first engineering certificate generally refers to the 4th
Class Engineer Motor Ship or 4th Class Engineer Steam Ship. However,
those candidates that proceed directly to the 3rd Class or 2nd
Class certificate, will be required to successfully complete a Marine Safety
approved training record book detailing on board training during the first six
months of their sea going service.
3.2 Completion of training record book. ^
Candidates that wish to be considered for examination as a watchkeeping
engineer shall, in addition to the necessary training and proof of service, also
complete a Marine Safety approved training record book as a part of the
mandatory six (6) months of sea service.
There will, over time, be a number of training record books that will achieve
approved status, therefore, a check with the local Marine Safety office and
employer, will confirm which training manual will be most suitable. Section 4.4
of this publication lists the approved manuals at the date of printing.
For those candidates that do not have access to company training manuals or
where present company manuals are not approved, candidates should complete the
model training record book in Annex A. This model training record book is based
on the International Maritime Organisations, International Convention on
Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW), 1987 - "Model
training record book for candidates for certification as officers in charge of
an engineering watch or designated duty engineers". It has been modified to
more closely fit Canadian maritime industry requirements.
While completing the service requirements of the certificate, the training
manual is to be signed off by either the Chief Engineer, Master or company
training officer.
Marine Safety examiners will sight the completed approved training manual as
proof of the duties and competencies acquired during the mandatory service
period aboard ship.
3.3 Approved marine engineering cadet training programs
^
Graduates from Marine Safety approved engineering cadet training programs
will have completed a sea training manual as a part of their program, and as
such are not required to complete an additional training manual.
