AND DEVELOP IMO
MODEL COURSES
The development of the new Model Course on USE OF LEADERSHIP
AND MANAGERIAL SKILL should address all relevant Leadership and
Managerial Skills competencies and related Knowledge, Understanding
and Proficiency
T
he 4th Sub-Committee Meeting on Human
Element, Training and Watchkeeping (HTW) of the
International Maritime Organization (IMO) held on 30
January 2017,
appreciates the offer of the Republic of the
Philippines to revise or develop the following model
courses:
1. new model course on Electro-technical Rating
supported by Greece and China;
2. new model course on Leadership and managerial skills
supported by Argentina;
3. revision of existing model course 1.28 on Crowd
Management, Passenger Safety and Safety Training for Personnel
Providing Direct Services to Passengers in Passenger Spaces, with
a view to developing two separate new model courses reflecting
the passenger ship-related STCW amendments adopted at MSC 97
(MSC 97/22/Add.1, annexes 8 and 9); and
4. rvision of existing model course 1.29 on Proficiency in Crisis
Management and Human Behaviour Training including Passenger
Safety, Cargo Safety and Hull Integrity Training, with a view to
developing two separate new model courses reflecting the
passenger ship-related STCW amendments adopted at MSC 97
(MSC 97/22/Add.1, annexes 8 and 9).
The Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) being the
country’s Flag state and Single-Maritime Administration for the
implementation of the 1978 STCW
Convention, as amended, has been diligently working on its task
to deliver our commitment to the global maritime community in
revising and developing the said IMO model courses.
The development of the new Model Course on USE OF
LEADERSHIP AND MANAGERIAL SKILL should address all relevant
Leadership and Managerial Skills competencies and related
Knowledge, Understanding and Proficiency (KUP) requirements
found in sections A-II/2 and A-III/2 of the STCW Code, taking into
account the guidance of sections B-II/2 and B-III/2 of the STCW
Code. The model course should not exceed the competencies and
KUP of the STCW Code but needs to consider and incorporate
the latest technological developments and best practices of the
industry. The model course development should support relevant
competency-based outcomes in line with column 4 of Tables A-II/2
and A-III/2 of the STCW Code. The course should also consider the
wide range of different ship types and the challenges faced by
seafarers when operating in different regions of the world. (Terms
of Reference, HTW 4).
With efforts from the Philippine Association of Maritime Training
Center, Inc. (PAMTCI) through the Philippine Center for Advanced
Maritime Simulation and Training, Inc. (PHILCAMSAT), inputs from
Gregorio Oca Leadership and Development Foundation (GOLD),
and guidance of the Administration, thedevelopment is currently
on its review and pilot stage prior its submission to Head of HTW
and Review group.
The development of this model course would improve the
delivery of the Module on Leadership and Managerial skills, already
forming part of the Management
Level Course which addresses the education and training
requirement found in sections A-II/2 and A-III/2 of the STCW Code.
