In accordance with Part A, Chapter I, Section I/11 Revalidation of certificates of STCW Code, continued professional competence shall be established, among others, successfully completing an approved training course or courses. The main objective of this paper is to design the contents of the model course using simulation technology to assessment of seafarers’ competence in accordance with the provisions of STCW Code for existing marines who need upgrade their professional maritime certificates in accordance also with the Standards governing the use of simulators, Reg I/12 of 2010 STCW Code, which will allow a greater cohesion, unification and harmonisation between maritime institutions. This paper is structured into following sections: Section 1 identifies current national refresher and updating programmes courses; Section 2 provides some general information of the application of simulation technology; Section 3 explains the design and development of the revalidation model course structure and finally Section 4 remarks some conclusions of the research.
