FRAMEWORK FOR VALIDATING THE TWELVE (12) or THIRTY-SIX MONTHS SEA-

GOING SERVICE

1. Overview This assessment framework is based on the University of Cebu – METC, Shipboard Training Office POLICY

& PROCEDURE FOR VALIDATING STUDENT CADETS’ TWELVE (12) MONTHS OR THIRTY-SIX (36) MONTHS

SEAGOING SERVICE (STO-SPM-001-05). The framework specifies the purpose, format, content and the

Grading System.

These Assessments are used to validate the twelve (12) or thirty-six months’ sea-going service of the

cadets/students who are applying for the CHED Required Certificate of Validation, Assessment and

Approval of Cadets Sea-going Service.

1.1 Purpose of Assessment The main purpose of assessment is to, Validate the contents of the following Documentary Evidence

accomplished and submitted by Cadets/Students:

1.2 Onboard Training Record Book

1.3 Training Record Book Journal

1.4 On Board Training Workbook

1.2 Scope The Assessment and Framework will be use only for returning Cadets/Student, that apply for Certificate of

Validation, Assessment and Approval of their twelve (12) or thirty-six months’ sea-going service and will

be only at University of Cebu-Maritime Education and Training Center.

2. What is an Assessment Framework? The purpose of the test framework is to provide the documentation to guide both the Assessor and the

candidate on the entire validation process. It is being made available for the reasons of openness

and transparency it is not to be use to guide teaching and learning as well as for formative assessment.

The framework includes a theoretical assessment on the nineteen (19) competencies for BSMT and

seventeen (17) competencies for BSMARE, Oral Interview for validation of the accomplished task on the

Onboard Training Book, Sea Projects and On the Duties and Responsibilities of the Officer of the Watch.

By providing all of this information in a single document, the assessment framework answers questions

about what the assessment will cover, and how, in a clear and concise manner. The framework does not

provide information on how the cadets/students should cover the content of the Administration

(MARINA) Board Examination.

3. Nature of the Assessment The Validation, Assessment and Approval of their twelve (12) or thirty-six months’ sea-going service, is

part of the Commission on Higher Education requirements under CMO 20 s2014 section 10 (Validation

of Sea-Going Service)

The theoretical assessment part of the validation process is based on the STCW 2010 nineteen for DECK

(BSMT) and 17 for Engine (BSMARE) competencies.

The theoretical part of the assessment will be securely administered using an automated computer base

program which will allow the candidate to select the competency and number of competencies he/she

would take for a particular schedule, with no human intervention.

The oral interview part of the validation process will be administered on a dedicated interview room,

and will be based on task completed in the training record book and Sea Projects and will using this

process below:
