The Trainee On Board Task Book is the largest practical unit in the Caribbean Boat Operator programme. Students must complete 250 on board tasks, three times each, on a commercial boat under the supervision of and verified by licenced mates and captains. Students must have a minimum of six months sea going time to qualify for the full award. This task book is to be completed while the student is on board, presumably doing the job of a an ordinary seaman. The student must complete the tasks on her own initiative. Students will have to make arrangements, if possible, with the mates and captains to sign off on the tasks.
The tasks are grouped together under headings of: Maintaining the boat and equipment, Securing deck cargo, Entering and departing port, Inspecting and defect reporting, Keeping a lookout, Codes and OSHA, Distributing weights evenly, Magnetic compass, Navigation and Boat Handling.
Student must create a portfolio of evidence
(where permitted: photos, diagrams, videos, audio, document copies). This is a
practical unit, consisting of tasks performed on board a commercial boat, under
supervision.
