National Certificate in Maritime (Commercial Inshore Vessel Operations) with an optional strand in Business Operations

Level3

Credits91

Purpose

This qualification recognises the skills and competencies required for an operator of a commercial inshore vessel.

The qualification recognises that the holder has the marine engineering, seamanship and navigation skills necessary to take charge of a vessel, operate its radar and radio, and to maintain the sea safety of the vessel and its personnel including the sea survival functions of distress response and first aid. The optional strand recognises skills in small business management, group participation, personal presentation, and the sales and customer service skills required for dealing with clients, required of the owner/operator of a small business associated with the vessel.

The qualification has a significant degree of commonality with the National Certificate in Maritime (Commercial Coastal Watchkeeping) [Ref: 0522] and holders may be interested in working towards both qualifications and also towards the National Certificate in Maritime (Master of Commercial Coastal Vessel) with an optional strand in Ocean Navigation [Ref:0258].

Replacement information

This qualification replaces the National Certificate in Maritime (Master Commercial In-shore Vessel) [Ref: 0523].

Special Notes

The Maritime Safety Authority (MSA) recognises this qualification as forming part of a structured training programme that could lead to the award of the Inshore Launchmaster certificate of competency. The Inshore Launchmaster certificate will be issued following fulfilment of Maritime Safety Authority (MSA) requirements.

Employers who recruit trainees must ensure that the trainees are supplied with the relevant information and procedures relating to MSA requirements.
