Working groups Task 2: Describe the aims for each subject area in broad terms. What and why – for example: ”The trainee should have a (sufficient) knowledge/skills of… because …” Example for module 1 – Route planning: 3. Course Outline and Timetable Content/Subject area Aims Main routes in the Baltic -Knowledge of maximum draught permissible for transit through the Sound, the Belts and the Kiel Kanal in order to plan for a safe passage -Sufficient knowledge of traffic patterns and normal sailing/route plans to maintain a safe and efficient passage Ship Reporting Systems (SRS) and VTS areas -Knowledge of SRS operational areas and reporting procedures in order to advice the master of the applicable rules -Knowledge of national VTS areas and where to find its regulations and procedures in order to advice the master of the applicable rules -Sufficient understanding of the roles and responsibilities between ship masters, (deep-sea) pilots and VTS-operators to avoid misunderstandings

Working groups Task 3: Describe the detailed teaching syllabus for each subject area written in learning objective format: ”After completing this course the trainee will be able to…” (Start with a verb i.e. explain, describe, demonstrate, state, identify, recognize, compare, discuss, list etc) Example for module 1 – Route planning: 3. Course Outline and Timetable Content/Subject area Detailed teaching syllabus (learning objectives) Main routes in the Baltic -Describe the maximum draught permissible for transit through the Sound, the Belts and the Kiel Kanal -Demonstrate a sufficient knowledge of traffic patterns and normal sailing/route plans to maintain a safe and efficient passage -Present a personal Bridge Book for relevant parts of the Baltic Sea area Ship Reporting Systems (SRS) and VTS areas -Explain the normal procedures in a SRS/VTS area -Identify the publications where SRS and VTS rules are published -Describe the roles of a master, (deep-sea) pilot and a VTS-operator
