          Examination including compulsory elements

          0111, Part A - Participated in the compulsory elements 

          0211, 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

           0311, Part C Completed at least 300 days of on board within the Master Mariner Programme 
          - 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

          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 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.
