Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MARH016 - Plan and navigate a passage for a vessel up to 80 metres

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan passage

  1. Navigational charts, nautical publications and related documentation are accessed and checked for currency
  2. Documentation is used to identify navigational hazards relevant to proposed voyage
  3. Route for voyage is determined and critical points along proposed route of voyage are identified and plotted
  4. Potential navigational contingencies and problems along planned route are identified and appropriate strategies for dealing with them are developed and recorded
  5. Weather forecasts are obtained and interpreted, and weather and sea condition hazards relevant to proposed voyage are identified prior to departure
  6. Route is modified as required to take into account weather and sea condition hazards
  7. Planned route for voyage and strategies for dealing with critical situations and contingencies along route are recorded
Navigational charts, nautical publications and related documentation are accessed and checked for currency

Conduct passage

  1. Local authorities are advised of departure and passage plan
  2. Mode of steering is selected appropriate for prevailing weather, sea and traffic conditions, and intended manoeuvres
  3. Weather forecasts and observations of sea and weather conditions are used to determine vessel speed and direction
  4. Information from wheelhouse equipment is interpreted to identify navigational hazards and fix vessel position
  5. Alterations to vessel course or speed are made to meet prevailing circumstances and changing conditions
  6. Navigational manoeuvres are conducted within safe operational limits of vessel
  7. Details of passage are recorded in vessel log according to regulations
Local authorities are advised of departure and passage plan
