Evaluation Security Awareness Training for All Seafarers Course

The learning objectives that are used in the detailed teaching syllabus will provide a sound base for the construction
of suitable tests for evaluating trainee progress.

Course Description:

This course is intended to provide the knowledge required to enable personnel without designed security duties in
connection with a Ship Security Plan (SSP) to enhance ship security in accordance with the requirements of chapter
XI-2 of SOLAS 74 as amended, the ISPS Code, and section A-VI/6-1 of the STCW Code, as amended.

Course Objective:

Those who successfully complete this course should achieve the required standard of competence enabling them to
contribute to the enhancement of maritime security through heightened awareness and the ability to recognize
security threats and to respond appropriately. This knowledge shall include, but are not limited to:

1. The meaning and the consequential requirements of the different security levels.
2. Knowledge of emergency procedures and contingency plans.

4. Recognition, on a non-discriminatory basis, of characteristics and behavioral patterns of persons
who are likely to threaten security.

Entry standards

It is assumed that those attending this course will be serving seafarers or other shipboard personnel who will not be
assigned specific security duties personnel employed or engaged in any capacity in a port facility that is required to
comply with the provisions of the ISPS Code and who will not be assigned specific duties in connection with a Port
Facility Security Plan.

Method of Evaluation

The methods chosen to carry out an evaluation will depend upon what the trainee is expected to achieve in terms of
knowing, comprehending and applying the course content.

The evaluation must be based on clearly defined objectives, and it must truly represent what is to be measured.
There must be a reasonable balance between the subject topics involved and also in the testing of trainees’
KNOWLEDGE, COMPREHENSION, and APPLICATION of concepts.

Scoring

In simple scoring of objective tests one point may be allotted to each correct response and zero for a wrong or nil
response.

A more sophisticated scoring technique entails awarding one point for a correct response, zero for a nil response
and minus one for an incorrect response. Where a multiple-choice test involves four alternatives, this means that a
totally uninformed guess involves a 25% chance of gaining one point and a 75% chance of losing one point. Scores
can be weighted to reflect the relative importance of questions, or of sections of an evaluation.
