INTRODUCTION In its guidance on the Evaluation of Competence, the Seafarers Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping Code (STCW) states: “Recognizing the importance of establishing detailed mandatory standards of competence and other mandatory provisions necessary to ensure that all seafarers shall be properly educated and trained, adequately experienced, skilled and competent to perform their duties in a manner which provides for the safety of life and property at sea and the protection of the marine environment.” For reasons such as these the Coast Guard continues to view its written examinations in addition to the training and practical demonstrations as an essential part of the process in developing the mariner's competency. This Publication has been designed for the use of NMC evaluators and personnel who are actively engaged in overseeing applicants in the exam room. If you have any questions concerning the deck and engine department examinations or suggestions for improvements to the Exam Structure Sheets or other sections of this manual, please contact: Mariner Training and Assessment Division (NMC-2) U.S. Coast Guard National Maritime Center 100 Forbes Drive Martinsburg, WV 25404 Title 46 Code of Federal Regulations Part 10 instructs the Officer in Charge Marine Inspection (OCMI) to conduct a Professional Examination of applicants for original issues, raises in grade, increases in scope, and renewals of endorsements. The examination follows a determination by the OCMI that the applicant’s training, appropriate practical demonstrations, and experience is satisfactory and they are eligible in all other respects. The purpose of this Publication is to help identify the appropriate professional examination for the OCMI’s use, and provide guidelines for the uniform administration of the examinations. If you need further information or assistance with respect to these Exam Structure Sheets, please do not hesitate to call the USCG National Maritime Center at: POC: Mariner Information Call uploads/Ingenierie_Lourd/ deck-and-engineering-guide.pdf
