DNV—GL — COMPETENCE OF MARITIME SIMULATOR INSTRUCTORS

The present official standard prepared and officially published by DNV GL is focusing on the performance-areas of instructors who are directly involved in training/education using maritime simulators and is addressing all operational areas that are relating to the design, delivery and assessment of learning programs.

Along with the generic competencies for those who are involved in transfer of skills and knowledge, specific simulator-related competencies have to be addressed separately. The simulator instructors need know how to to properly prepare and deliver the training program he is assigned to and also verify that students at the end of the program have indeed met the initial learning objectives. The present standard is intended to specify the competence requirements applicable to the simulator instructors who can be considered responsible persons for the design, delivery and/or assessment of a learning program involving the use of maritime simulators.

Again, traditionally, there are three parts in this standard: introduction - scope, target groups and professional profile, plus required performance standard, taxonomy - general info, cognition levels, and professional behavior verbs, and competence requirements.
