The overall aim of this model course is to meet the mandatory minimum standard of
competence for seafarers for the following competence: Maintain a safe navigational watch, in
particular bridge resource management, in column 2, table A-II/1 of the STCW Code, under
the function navigation at the operational level. This course is theoretical and practical,
including simulator exercises, taking into account table A-II/1 and the relevant parts of section
A-VIII/2 of the STCW Code.

The objective of this model course is to provide trainees with guidance and information to
obtain the knowledge, understanding and proficiency (KUP) required to achieve the objectives
of the learning outcomes. Trainees should demonstrate the standard of competence in bridge
resource management as set out in table A-II/I and paragraph 8 of section A-VIII/2 of the STCW Code.


The trainees who have successfully completed the course should be able to successfully
demonstrate their competence to maintain a safe navigational watch at the operational level,
in particular their knowledge of bridge resource management principles, including:


.1 allocation, assignment and prioritization of resources;
.2 effective communication;
.3 assertiveness and leadership;
.4 obtaining and maintaining situational awareness; and
.5 consideration of team experience.

Foreword


After the adoption of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and
Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
recognized the need to provide guidance to maritime academies and training institutes for the
development of training courses that are in compliance with STCW Convention requirements
for certification of seafarers and other IMO instruments. Hence, the IMO model course
programme was introduced to provide guidance to support maritime training providers and to
assist maritime Administrations responsible for the approval of STCW training courses and
maritime training.


The IMO model course programme has been a long-time success. IMO has developed several model courses to help with the effective implementation of the STCW Convention; the
knowledge, understanding and proficiency (KUP) requirements of the STCW Code; and other
IMO instruments. The key to the programme’s success is materials that adhere to the
requirements of the Convention and include industry best practices to support seafarers with
carrying out their duties on board. As part of the model courses, IMO has also developed
guidance on their implementation, which may help those less experienced facilitators to make
each course a success.


While aiming to support the uniform implementation of the requirements of the STCW
Convention and Code and other IMO instruments, the model course programme is designed
to provide flexibility to allow training providers to adjust courses to the needs of seafarers and
trainees, based on their previous work, experience and education.

This model course was validated by the IMO Sub-Committee on Human Element, Training and Watchkeeping at its ninth session (6 to 10 February 2023). IMO model courses are for the
purpose of guidance only and are not to be regarded as an official interpretation of IMO
instruments. They can be of assistance to Administrations to facilitate the process of approval
of STCW course programmes.


I wish training providers and seafarers well, and trust that this model course will support
continued safe shipping.

IMO

As a specialised agency of the United Nations, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security and environmental performance of international shipping. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.

In other words, its role is to create a level playing field so that ship operators cannot address their financial issues by simply cutting corners and compromising on safety, security and environmental performance. This approach also encourages innovation and efficiency.

Shipping is a truly international industry, and it can only operate effectively if the regulations and standards are themselves agreed, adopted and implemented on an international basis. And IMO is the forum at which this process takes place.
