Evaluation

If you still want to submit an assessment as a pdf. document, you must submit the following information: 

1. Name of the person being assessed
2. Vessel with call sign
3. Period of time the assessment has been carried out
4. Must document that the assessment has been carried out in accordance with the relevant table in the STCW Convention
5. Name of assessor
6. Attach a copy of the assessor's certificate of qualification
7. I am aware that false documentation is affected by sections 221 and 361 of the Penal Code, and will be reported to the police.

Your task as an assessor is to check that the cadet has learned all the competence objectives within the STCW criteria. Testing can be done with a practical or theoretical test together with the cadet, or as part of the regular tasks done on board.

You have access to the cadet's answers in WebCadet, but this is not what will be tested. The answers are only intended as a guide and help to understand whether the cadet has understood the competence requirements.

In WebCadet you will find tips on how to test the cadet on the different competence goals.
