          Organisation

          This course is the first of four ships with on board training. This course is held lp 3 and the period at sea can be anywhere from 5 to 10 weeks. Prior to the course (lp 1 & lp 2) held a number of lectures to prepare students for future on board training.

          The student is responsible for arranging his/her own internship if an agreement with the Maritime Training Institute (SUI) is missing or an existing agreement has not been followed by the student.
          Assessment take place during the lp 4 when students individually or in group meet examiner.

          The report is written in accordance with the guidelines on the course website.

          If the company assesses that the student shows such serious deficiencies in knowledge, skills or attitudes that there is a risk with reference to maritime safety, the examiner can with immediate effect decide that the student may not continue his/her On Board Training (OBT) on the ship in question. In such cases, the grade for the course will be a fail (U). The examiner, study counsellor and student draw up an individual action plan with the aim of remedying the student's identified shortcomings.

          The examiner can make exceptions on the number of days given the varied length of the internship period if other requirements are met.

          The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers about disability study support.
