Professional Practices and Reponsibilities (PPR)

Description

Professional Practices and Responsibilities Course Outline:

This Interactive PPR course has been created as a result of demand from within the industry for a better understanding of the regulations and guidelines under which we operate. Once students have completed the course they will be better positioned to operate safely, confidently and within the law as a commercial skipper or crew member.

The course:

The Professional Practices and Responsibilities course is split into four modules. There are questions and activitiesto complete throughout the four modules, but the results are not recorded and do not count towards the final assessment.

The time it take the course is around six to eight hours and students can work through the course in chunks at their own speed.

The assessment:

There is a Practice Exam on the site which you can try a maximum of three times before undertaking the real assessment.

You will be allowed only one attempt at the real assessment, which consist of two parts: one part will be generic questions about the regulations and legislation, and the other part will be based on scenarios. Each section has a time limit of one hour and consists of 15 randomly generated questions. If you don’t complete the assessment in that time, at the end of the hour any unanswered questions will be marked incorrect. The pass mark is 12 out of 15 for each section.
