COURSE REQUIREMENTS

Prerequisite Note

Please make note of course prerequisites as you consider your personal training plan. They are designed to provide the framework that will maximize your learning experience by taking you logically to and through the courses you desire while preparing you for the higher level courses.

In order for the classes and lab sessions to be more productive and efficient for both students and instructors, your course work will be chosen based on your prior training and experience. Prerequisites may be waived if prior education at other facilities and/or work training records prove equivalent to the requirements. Please call the school for details.

Class Attendance

Attendance is mandatory to successfully complete a class.  Tardiness and missed classes can be grounds for not receiving a course completion certificate, regardless of the grades a student earns on tests and lab work.

Course Grade Requirements

To successfully complete any course, a student must attain the minimum cumulative score for all work required in the course they are attending. Anyone failing to meet the minimum will not receive a Certificate of Completion or credit for the course on his/her transcript of certificates earned.

While the nature of the assigned course work (quizzes, homework, written tests, practical demonstrations, etc.) will vary depending on the design of the particular course, the cumulative 70% standard remains firm. Calhoon MEBA Engineering School must strictly adhere to our established minimum grading standard to retain compliance with STCW, USCG and DNV policies.

Note on STCW Requirements

Several of the courses described herein are required for compliance with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Convention known as STCW Including 2010 Manila Amendments. All required courses are noted as such. Please refer to the STCW FAQ page for more detailed information on the requirements and subject areas covered by these regulations.

CLASSES REQUIRED BY THE MANILA AMENDMENTS

With the passage of the Manila amendments in June of 2010, training requirements for our members were enhanced.  The new STCW requirements went into effect on January 1, 2012.  Certain requirements come into effect immediately while others will be implemented at later dates.  Everything must be enforced by 2017.
  

Basic Safety Training (BST) Refresher

For mariners that have sufficient sea time to renew their credential (1 year sea time in the last 5 years), the Manila Amendments make it mandatory for certain parts of fire fighting and personal survival to be refreshed ashore.  The school has put into the 2012 course schedule a three day course called BST Refresher, which is designed to meet this requirement.
  

Basic Safety Training (BST)

For mariners that DO NOT have sufficient sea time to renew their credential (1 year sea time in the last 5 years), the Manila Amendments make it mandatory that the mariner take the entire five day course again.
  

Advanced Fire Fighting Refresher

For mariners that have sufficient sea time to renew their credential (1 year sea time in the last 5 years), the Manila Amendments make it mandatory for certain parts of Advanced Fire Fighting to be refreshed ashore.  The school has put into the 2012 course schedule a two day course called Advanced Fire Fighting Refresher, which is designed to meet this requirement.  This course will run, immediately following the BST Refresher Course, during the same week.  So during that week BST Refresher will run Monday – Wednesday and Adv. Fire Fighting Refresher will run Thursday and Friday.
  

Advanced Fire Fighting

For mariners that DO NOT have sufficient sea time to renew their credential (1 year sea time in the last 5 years), the Manila Amendments make it mandatory that the mariner re-take the entire five day Advanced Fire Fighting course.
  

Upgrade to Management Level

Like the deck officers, engineers are now going to be required to take training in order to upgrade their license to Management Level (Chief and First).  This five week course has been taught at the school for the last five years and is currently in the 2012 schedule.
  

Proficiency in Survival Craft (Lifeboatman)

For mariners that have sufficient sea time to renew their credential (1 year sea time in the last 5 years), no additional training will be required.  If you DO NOT have the required sea time you will be required to either retake the five day course or successfully complete a take home test.  The school has not scheduled this class for 2012, but if there is sufficient demand we will run it.
  

Leadership and Management

Renewal of a credential that will be valid on or after January 1, 2017 must provide evidence of meeting the standard of competence for leadership and management.  This course is currently under development and is expected to be ready for the 2015 calendar year.
