          Aim

          The lectures are intended to prepare students for their on board training and provide students with the necessary knowledge of life at sea in order to adequately be able to assimilate the on board training. The on board training aims to educate / train students in the practical skills of previously obtained theoretical knowledge in operating conditions aboard merchant vessels in accordance with the requirements of the STCW Convention and to obtain the time at sea required by Swedish Transport Agency (TSFS 2011:116) to obtain certificate as deck officer.

          Examination including compulsory elements

          0112, Part A
          - Participated in the compulsory elements and submitted writing report according to the instructions on the course website

          0212, Part B
          - Completed at least 28 days of on board training
          - Shown completed, signed and stamped Cadet Report, paragraph 7 and 8 at least "yes" or "Partly".
          - Assessment report (competence of STCW requirements) of the On Board Training Manual is dated and signed by the supervisor.

          0312, Part C
          - Completed at least 75% of the planned time on board.
          - Shown completed, signed and stamped Cadet Report, paragraph 7 and 8 at least "yes" or "Partly".

          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.
