The system of evaluation fulfils with the assessment criteria of the competence collected in the Column 4 of the following Tables of the STCW Convention, modified by Manila 2010:
- Table A-V/1-1-1. Specification of minimum standard of competence in basic training
for oil and chemical tanker cargo operations
- Table A-V/1-1-2. Specification of minimum standard of competence in advanced training for oil tanker cargo operations
The assessment criteria contemplated in the Tables A-III/1 of the STCW Code, and collected in the System of Guarantee of Quality, will take into account to design and realise the evaluation.
The partial exams form part of the continuous evaluation, therefore to be able to take part of them, the assistance to the guest lectura / Keynote speech must be of 90%.
STCW-related practices, corresponding to the simulation methodolgy, are mandatory in their entirety.
Practices includes, whenever it was possible, the visit in the sailboats to tanker ships berthed at terminal: oil, gas and chemicals tankers or vessels berthed.
In order to obtain the Certificate of basic training for cargo operations on tankers and chemical tankers, a partial mixed test will be carried out at the end of this part of the subject, with 90% attendance being necessary during the course. In order to obtain the Certificate of basic training for cargo operations on liquefied gas tankers and for the Passenger Ship Certificate, both certificates being completely independent, an objective test will be carried out at the official 1st and 2nd opportunity, with 90% attendance required during the course.
The fraudulent accomplishment of the tests or activities of evaluation, once verified, will imply directly the loss of the right to the opportunity in which the fault is committed and respect of the subject in which it had been committed. The student will be graded with a "fail" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the offence is committed on the first or second opportunity. To this end, the grade will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary.
