(Element 4) Simulator Training & Verification There are 6 simulator modules attached to the TOTS system which are outlined as follows: Tanker Type Simulator Training Modules 4A, 4C & 4E The deck officer candidates either at the junior officer level or command module level, as appropriate/necessary, will be required to attend an externally auditable maritime training centre, upon successful completion of the appropriate tanker type supplement, i.e. the chemical, crude or product, and to undertake the simulator training course for the type of tanker upon which he/she will sail. There are three simulator training modules in the TOTS system: ● ● ● 4A Chemical Tanker Simulator Training Course 4C Product Tanker Simulator Training Course 4E Crude Oil Tanker Simulator Training course Each module will complement the tanker supplements in the record training books and ensure the candidate acquires “hands on” experience to build on the knowledge gained in element 1. Having completed the appropriate simulator training course it is however expected that the candidate will attend at a later stage to complete the appropriate tanker type simulator verification course as part of the verification process of assessing proficiency of knowledge at the senior level. These modules are simulator models which determine the standard to be attained through the simulator training course, and it is expected that the externally auditable maritime training centre which runs these courses will ensure it attains the standard that the models set out - and that it can demonstrate this. Tanker Type Simulator Verification Modules 4B, 4D & 4F The deck officer candidates, who undertake the command module (1A), will be required to attend an externally auditable maritime training centre, upon successful completion of the appropriate tanker type supplement, i.e. the chemical, crude or product, and to undertake the simulator verification course for the type of tanker upon which he/she will sail. There are three simulator verification modules in the TOTS system as follows: ● ● ● 4B Chemical Tanker Simulator Verification course 4D Product Tanker Simulator Verification course 4F Crude Oil Tanker Simulator Verification course Each module will complement the tanker supplements in the record training books and ensure the candidate is assessed of his “hands on” experience to build on the knowledge gained in 1A. These modules are simulator models which determine the standard to be attained through the simulator verification course, and it is expected that the externally auditable maritime training centre which runs these courses will ensure it attains the standard that the models set out – and that it can demonstrate this.
