This course is structured around three core functions, reflecting the key responsibilities of management-level personnel. It's designed to meet the minimum competency standards outlined in Regulation II/5 of the 1995 STCW-F Convention for chief and second engineer officers on fishing vessels with main propulsion machinery of 750 kW or more. For clarity, the course is divided into three functional areas: Marine Engineering: Covering aspects related to the ship's hull and structure.

Electrical and Control Engineering: Focuses on the electrical systems and control mechanisms on board. Controlling Operations and Caring for Personnel: Deals with managing the overall operation of the vessel and ensuring the safety and well-being of the crew. Each of these functions is explored in three parts: A, B, and C. Part A: This section lays the groundwork for each function by stating its aims and objectives. It also includes suggestions for suitable teaching facilities, equipment, helpful resources such as teaching aids, and lists relevant IMO references and textbooks. Part B: This part provides a general outline for lectures, demonstrations, and practical exercises within each functional area. There is no strict timetable to follow. The most important thing is that trainees achieve the minimum competency standards defined in Regulation II/5 of the 1995 STCW-F Convention.

Trainees will learn better if they are allowed to learn at their own pace. Part B also includes guidance notes and additional explanations to help clarify topics. Part C: This provides a comprehensive teaching syllabus. This syllabus aligns with the knowledge requirements in Regulation II/5 of the STCW-F Convention and is based on guidance from the Document for Guidance on Training and Certification of Fishing Vessel Personnel. This details the knowledge required for learning.

This will assist the teacher in lesson design. A separate IMO model course is dedicated to the "Assessment of Competence" which explains the various methods for demonstrating competence. The "Document for Guidance on Training and Certification of Fishing Vessel Personnel" includes tables of competency units and functional skill components. These can be used to evaluate the competence of engineer officers on fishing vessels.
