6  Training requirements
 (1) This section specifies requirements for the purposes of the definition of training requirements in subsection 5(1) of the Act in relation to an entity for a vessel of the entity.
 (2) The entity must ensure that, for each vessel operated by the entity (either directly or indirectly), training is being undertaken by at least one person (the trainee) in each of the following categories:
 (a) engineer officer training;
 (b) deck officer training;
 (c) integrated rating and steward training.
 (3) However, it is not a requirement that there are 3 trainees in relation to each of those vessels.
Example: If an entity operates 2 vessels, the entity must ensure that training is being undertaken by at least 6 trainees (2 trainees in each of the categories mentioned in subsection (2)), but there may be 4 trainees in relation to one of those vessels and 2 trainees in relation to the other of those vessels.
 (4) If there is a prescribed qualification for a category specified in subsection (2), the entity must ensure that each trainee in that category is seeking to obtain that prescribed qualification.
Note: For the meaning of prescribed qualification, see section 5.
 (5) For each trainee undertaking training for the purposes of subsection (2), the entity must keep a record that sets out the following:
 (a) if the training is to be organised by a third party organisation—the name and details of the third party organisation;
 (b) details about that trainee, including:
 (i) the trainee's name, age and gender; and
 (ii) the category specified in subsection (2) in which the trainee is being trained; and
 (iii) any prescribed qualification already held by the trainee that are relevant for the trainee's training in that category;
 (c) a description of the training to be undertaken by that trainee, including:
 (i) the name of the prescribed qualification the trainee is seeking; and
 (ii) if the training is being provided by a third party organisation—the name and details of the third party organisation; and
 (iii) the date that the prescribed qualification is expected to be attained by the trainee;
 (d) details of how the training will be monitored by the entity.
