The system, developed in association with the Chemical Distribution Institute (CDI), features a series of short tests designed to complement the crew\u2019s existing training programme and provide strong evidence of continuous objective assessment of officers.<\/p>\n
Chief officers, second officers, third officers, second engineers, third engineers or their equivalent ranks are eligible to undertake the testing. Selection of the Officers is made randomly by computer and the checks are carried out on a one-to-one basis onboard by an Inspector via pre-determined questions programmed into a laptop. A CKP review committee will review the progress, results and statistics of the CKP database on a quarterly basis.<\/p>\n
CKP Testing constitutes part of Videotel\u2019s VOA (Videotel online assessment), an internet based program designed to help assess the competency of individual seafarers by delivering assessment based questions. Assessments can be set up by selecting questions from an extensive and growing database which, in turn, can then be assigned to selected seafarers. The assessments are completed on line enabling employers to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their seafarers both prior-to and during employment. The results demonstrate how they are progressing and identify further individual\u2019s training requirements as part of a company\u2019s overall competency management programme.<\/p>\n
Capt Milind Karkhanis, vice president, Videotel Training Services, has been instrumental in working with CDI to develop this project. \u201cWhat the industry needs is a globally consistent system of quality measurement,\u201d he says. \u201cWith this system, the individual ship operator can benchmark the CKP of his officers against the world chemical and gas tanker fleet average. This provides a genuine measurement of performance, allowing those fleets demonstrating high quality standards to receive the recognition they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
