Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to complete basic maintenance of marine internal combustion engines, propulsion plant and auxiliary systems.This unit of competency applies to people working in the maritime industry in the capacity of:chief engineer on vessels with an inboard engine with propulsion power <750 kW within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) orsecond engineer on vessels with an inboard engine with propulsion power <1500 kW, within the EEZ orchief or second engineer with an outboard engine with unlimited propulsion power within the EEZ orassistant under direct supervision of a chief engineer; andworker in an engine room of a vessel < 80 m long with propulsion power <3000 kW.Licensing/Regulatory InformationLegislative and regulatory requirements are applicable to this unit. This unit is one of the requirements to obtain Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) certification as a Marine Engine Driver Grade 2 NC, as defined in the National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) Part D. The AMSA mandated practical assessment (AMPA) is a requirement for AMSA certification. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) mandated practical assessment (AMPA) will cover a range, but not all, of the requirements identified in the Performance Evidence and Knowledge Evidence. The AMPA shall be undertaken in accordance with its instructions.Assessors of AMPA must hold as a minimum:a current certificate of competency issued under Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law Act 2012 at the same level as the qualification being assessed with at least 12 months’ relevant sea service, ora relevant seafarer certificate, as engineer issued under the Navigation Act 2012.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
