FOREWORD
This “Updating Course for Management Level Marine Engineer Officers”,
who were certificated under the STCW ’78 Convention, as amended in 1995, wasdeveloped in order for the said merchant marine engineer officers to updatethemselves and comply with the new requirements under Regulation III/2 of the2010 Manila Amendments to the 1978 International Convention on Standards ofTraining, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention),
without need for re-taking the whole management level engine course.

The curriculum was designed based on the gap analysis of the minimum
standards of competence provided in Table A-III/2 of STCW ’78, as amended in
1995 vis-à-vis Table A-III/2 of the 2010 STCW Manila Amendments and guided by
the revised IMO Model Course 7.02 (Chief Engineer Officer and Second Engineer
Officer), which was validated during the 44th session of the IMO’s Sub-Committee
on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping (STW 44) held from 29 April to 3 May
2013.

The specific gaps identified were referred to the revised IMO Model Course
7.02 and the topics relevant to the said gaps together now comprise the curriculum
for this updating course.

Upon completion of this updating course and passing the assessment
thereof, successful management level Marine Engineer Officers shall be qualified
to upgrade/renew their existing Certificates of Competency (COC) in accordancewith Regulation III/2 of the 2010 STCW Manila Amendments.
