Course Assessment

 Introduction
Assessment is concerned with making of proper judgment in the
progress and development of the trainees’ learning skills and attitudes. This
means assessment is placing value or worth to behavior processes of doing
things appropriate in a given situation on board. To be effective, however,
the assessment requires that judgments be based on appropriate and
relevant data. This is why the learning outcomes in Part C, are herein
provided as the basis for the evaluation of trainees’ progress, development
and learning of this course.

 Assessment Method
A written examination shall be administered in order to measure the
acquired knowledge of the trainees. The examinations shall be
administered at the end of training in which a passing mark is pre-requisite
for the practical assessment.

To ensure representation of all topics covered in an objective type of

test and to measure the desired level of thinking skills, the test items to be
constructed shall be based on a Table of Specification (TOS). A sample
TOS is provided with the number of test items indicated is to be used as a
GUIDE ONLY.

On the other hand, a practical assessment shall be conducted to

measure trainees’ ability to demonstrate the following skills:
• communication with passengers during emergency; and
• use of personal life-saving appliances

Both methods of assessment used to measure the knowledge,

skills and attitudes acquired by the trainees are reflected in the
corresponding Assessment Plan. This document details the overall
assessment strategy which includes the following information:
 when the assessment is to take place;
 what assessment methods are to be employed;
 the marks/weighting for each assessment;
 who is responsible for conducting the assessment;
 what resources are needed; and
 conditions under which assessments are to be conducted.
