This 40-hour course is designed to meet the USCG examination requirements for Able Seaman (Unlimited), Able Seaman (Fishing) and Ordinary Seaman as a member of a Navigation Watch Team (Lookout and Helmsman trainee) and is primarily intended for individuals who will assist in the safe operation of vessels. The topics covered should serve as a valuable introduction for those who have the minimum required experience and as a very useful refresher for experienced Able Seaman. The course deals with the responsibilities of an Able Seaman. This is accomplished using conventional teaching and training methods, participate training techniques (such as task solving, both individually and in groups), simulation exercises as well as the most common forms of teaching, e.g., lectures, audiovisual presentation, Simulation, and Practical applications. Further, the course covers the assessment of participants for various purposes such as admittance to courses, possible adjustments of teaching plans to suit entry qualifications, monitoring progress, USCG final examinations etc., and the issue of a USCG Approved course completion certificate where applicable.
