Competence Management
Behavioural competency assessment and verification (BCAV) developed with OCIMF and coupled with competency management guidance (ICMG) are flexible systems for assessing competency in seafarers. They can be adopted by all companies and incorporated into their existing assessment or appraisal systems, with the overall aim being to develop and improve officers’ technical and soft skills. The associated assessments are part of a continuous improvement process rather than another exam that officers need to pass. In this way, it differs from pure technical competency systems such as those in the STCW Convention. Where possible, the lessons learned from applying the BCAV and ICMG will be fed into the comprehensive review of the STCW Convention.
