2 QUALIFICATION DETAILS Qualification Title: Occupational Certificate: Marine Engineer (Electro-Technical Officer) Occupational Code: Curriculum Code: Quality Assuring Body: Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) Sub Framework: Occupational Qualifications Sub-Framework Field: Field 01 - Services Subfield: Transport, Operations and Logistics NQF Level: 5 Credits: 390 Originator/Development Quality Partner (DQP): Transport Education and Training Authority Originating Provider/Assessment Quality Partner (AQP): South African Maritime Safety Authority Qualification Type: Occupational Certificate Registered qualifications and or learning programmes to be replaced: None RATIONALE The standards of training and certification regarding Electro-Technical Officers (ETOs) established in the new edition of the STCW Convention and Code are the first international standards for electro-technical personnel in history. Development of study programmes for ETOs is one of the most important current tasks for maritime education and training institutions. Standards established in the new edition of the STCW Convention and Code regarding ETOs include requirements for one level of ETOs qualification. These standards should be accepted as minimum standards only. These standards do not cover a range of competencies that are necessary in modern marine engineering and do not take into account that the competencies of management level appear when vessels with powerful and complex electric power plants are maintained by electro-technical groups that might include a few ETOs. Analysis of modern and nearest future needs shows us that a minimum of two levels of qualifications (ranks) for ETOs are required. A number of countries have been supporting the idea of two-level standards for ETOs during the process of comprehensive review of the STCW Convention and Code. The first level of ETOs qualification should correspond to the standards of competence for ETOs at operational levels that are presented in the Section A-111/6 of the STCW Code. The second level of ETOs qualification must ensure the next level of knowledge, understanding and proficiency in the field of work, and the next level of problem solving abilities, communication skills, autonomy and responsibility. The Manila amendments to the Annex to the International Convention on Standard of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention) and to the Seafarers' Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code (STCW Code) entered into force 1 January 2012 [l]. One of the most important amendments to the STCW Convention and the STCW Code was the introduction of the standards of training and certification for electro-technical personnel [2]. The necessity of the inclusion of such standards into the STCW Convention and the STCW Code was predetermined by the rapid development of electro- and electronic technologies during the last decades and the wide use of the above technologies in maritime engineering. The new edition of the STCW Convention and STCW Code includes standards regarding electrotechnical officers (Regulation III/6 of the STCW Convention and Sections A-III/6 and B-III/6 of the Qualification Template for LQDF Page 2 of 12

3 STCW Code) and Electro-technical ratings (Regulation III/7 of the STCW Convention and Section A-III/7 of the STCW Code). Prior to the adoption of the above standards, the unified requirements of the competence and the level of responsibility of the electro-technical personnel were not established. Different countries and different maritime higher educational institutions trained ship electro-technical specialists in accordance with their national requirements. Besides, different shipping companies provided positions differently named and having different duties (Electrician, Electrical Engineer, Electrical Officer, Electronic Officer, etc.). In some cases, the principal attention was devoted to the electrical power plants and distribution of electricity, electrical drives and so on. In the others, the focus was on the electronic and control engineering. Different approaches to the duties of electro-technical personnel and to the development of the associated training programmes before the adoption of the Manila Amendments were reflected during the process of the comprehensive review of the STCW Convention and the STCW Code. For instance, the proposals to include new definitions into the STCW Convention and work out the related standards regarding Electrical officer and Electronic officer, Electro-technical officer and Senior electro-technical officer were submitted. As a result of lengthy discussions and the resulting convergence of the delegations' positions, the standards regarding Electro-technical officer were adopted. After the Manila Amendments have entered into force, the training of electro-technical personnel should be provided in compliance with the adopted standards. The specification of minimum standards of competence for electro-technical officer as presented in the Table A-III/6 of the STCW Code requires knowledge, understanding and proficiency in the subject areas of mechanical engineering, electro-technology, hi-voltage technology, electronics, control engineering, computing and data processing and communication technology. It is evident that the area of competence of electro-technical officer covers a wide range of engineering and technology and requires the realization of the specific educational and training programmes, which may be classified as educational and training programmes in Combined Technology. The standards regarding electro technical officers in the STCW Convention and the STCW Code established only one level of ETOs' qualification and responsibility - operational level. The standards established in Regulation III/6 of the STCW Convention and Sections A-III/6 and B-III/6 of the STCW Code should be accepted as minimum standards only. These standards do not cover a range of competencies that are necessary in modern marine engineering and do not take into account the situations when competencies of management level are required. This National Occupational Certificate at NQF level 6 resulted from an identified industry and employer need and represents a step in the established sub-field learning pathway.

INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY Qualification Template for LQDF Page 7 of 12

8 Shipping is a global business of great importance to international trade. The utilization of modern electronic and information systems and are increasingly required in the shipping industry. Many of the engineers in shipping have a qualification including electrical and electronics, but lack certain specializations or knowledge especially when it comes to advanced electronic control or computer systems and networks. This qualification will offer re-skilling and up-skilling of such people operating in a modern shipping environment. Learners will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to manage, maintain and repair electrical and electronic as well as computer systems and networks. The international comparability study conducted specifically focused on identifying occupational standards or qualifications used in other countries that might contain indicators of best practice that could be used for comparison to or in the development of the Electro Technical Officer qualifications to be submitted for registration to the QCTO. The International Maritime Organisation and its member states (UK, Australia, and India) were selected as best practice as it was accepted as International standards The content, scope and duration of the qualification is uniform internationally. The Maritime profession is an area with globally recognised best practices, standards and Qualifications. This Qualification and set of Unit Standards utilises international and locally recognised best practice and standards. The data collection process included the following: International legislation and conventions An extensive Internet search focusing on the countries identified as best practice countries Follow-up by to obtain more detailed information especially in relation to case studies Contacting professional and academic colleagues in target countries with direct involvement in the development or application of relevant vocational qualifications The international comparability study was done in various countries, such as New Zealand, United Kingdom, Iran, Australia, USA and South Africa. INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT Integrated formative assessment: The skills development provider will use the curriculum to guide them on the stipulated internal assessment criteria and weighting.
