2.3 International Comparability
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 Able Seafarer qualifications to be submitted for registration to the QCTO.
The International Maritime Organisation and its member states (UK, Australia. New
Zealand 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 recognized best practices,
standards and Qualifications. This Qualification and set of Unit Standards utilizes
international and locally recognized best practice and standards.
The data collection process included the following:
International legislation and conventions
An extensive Internet search focussing on the countries identified as
best practice countries
Follow-up by email 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
18
vocational qualifications
The international comparability study was done in various countries, such as Papua
New Guinea, United Kingdom, Australia, USA, New Zealand, India and South Africa.
Conclusion
The identification of tasks and job profiles is based upon a sound methodology and
extensive consultation with practitioners, resulting in valid and credible outputs that
informed the development of the qualifications and unit standards. Useful
comparisons may be drawn between the environmental trends identified in the best
practice countries and those affecting the competencies covered in these
qualifications and unit standards.
