2.3 International Comparability

The international comparability study conducted specifically focused on identifying

occupational standards or qualifications used in other countries that might contain

indicators of best practice that could be used for comparison to or in the development

of the Able Seafarer qualifications to be submitted for registration to the QCTO.

The International Maritime Organisation and its member states (UK, Australia. New

Zealand and India) were selected as best practice as it was accepted as

International standards

The content, scope and duration of the qualification Is uniform internationally.

The Maritime profession is an area with globally recognized best practices,

standards and Qualifications. This Qualification and set of Unit Standards utilizes

international and locally recognized best practice and standards.

The data collection process included the following:

International legislation and conventions

An extensive Internet search focussing on the countries identified as

best practice countries

Follow-up by email to obtain more detailed information especially in

relation to case studies

Contacting professional and academic colleagues in target countries

with direct involvement in the development or application of relevant

18

vocational qualifications

The international comparability study was done in various countries, such as Papua

New Guinea, United Kingdom, Australia, USA, New Zealand, India and South Africa.

Conclusion

The identification of tasks and job profiles is based upon a sound methodology and

extensive consultation with practitioners, resulting in valid and credible outputs that

informed the development of the qualifications and unit standards. Useful

comparisons may be drawn between the environmental trends identified in the best

practice countries and those affecting the competencies covered in these

qualifications and unit standards.
