Course Description

The primary aim of the course is to help maritime training institutes and their teaching staff to organize the development of simulator training courses in a way to provide integrated simulator training to mariners. The course will assist the training institutes to enhance their existing capabilities so that they offer practical and relevant training programs facilitated by adequately trained personnel.

This course covers the training recommended in the IMO Model Course 6.10 and fulfils the training requirement for Simulator Trainers and Assessors specified in Regulation 1/6, Section A-1/6 of STCW Code 1978 as amended. Each candidate will cover the basic elements of simulation training which are common to all types of simulation courses. They will then practically apply those elements during the course on one of the following full mission simulators as applicable to their experience - Ship Manoeuvring; Engine Room or Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator. It is expected that each candidate will assimilate the learning and skills and apply them across all types of relevant simulation training programmes to be conducted by them in future. The course is generic and will not specifically certify that the candidate is trained to work with any specific simulator type.
