2. ISTITUTO IDROGRAFICO DELLA MARINA COURSE SCOPE (HS Category B Course Programme) ITEM DESCRIPTION TITLE Intermediate Course for Military and Civilians people (Idr) (FIG/IHO/ICA Hydrographic Surveyor Category B) LOCATION Istituto Idrografico della Marina - Genoa OBJECTIVES To provide the know-how necessary to perform the tasks of the Hydrographic Officer on board survey vessels and at hydrographic services (technical divisions). The course is certified Category B Hydrographic Surveyor training course by the International Bureau of Standard Hydrographic Competences. CURRICULUM The course at IIM is divided into three phases: phase 0 - 4 weeks to provide the basic knowledge required to attend phase 1; phase 1 - 21 weeks- to deal with technical and specialized matters in the field of hydro- oceanography; phase 2, 8 weeks, training on board; Lessons are in English. DURATION 8 months (8 January 30 September), 25 weeks for theory classes at the Istituto Idrografico della Marina, 8 weeks practice sessions on board survey vessels.

4. ISTITUTO IDROGRAFICO DELLA MARINA TIME FRAMES (HS Category B Course Programme) ITEM DESCRIPTION TIME (Years/Weeks) PROGRAMME MAXIMUM DURATION 5 Y The time frame over which an individual studies towards a recognized programme cannot be more than five (5) years for a Cat "B" Programme. Individuals could attend modules in different years; Course cost is differentiated taking into account module durations and subject classes (Basic/Essential) and an extra cost could be charged. PROGRAMME MINIMUM DURATION Fase 0 : 4 W + Fase 1 : 21 W + Fase 2 : 8 W - - - - - - - - - - Total = 33 W The minimum duration of Programmes must be sufficient to allow students to absorb the knowledge through the lectures, tutorials, self- study, practical exercises and the final project. According with the IHO Guidelines S5/S8 for Standard of Competence Version 2.0.0 Ed. March 2017, to achieve the above, for the Italian Category "B Programme (without exemptions sought) delivered full- time in a continuous manner the minimum time frame is more than twenty four (24) weeks, including the final project (CFFP) as suggested from IBSC. When exemptions are sought only from Basic subjects in the Fase 0, then the period has been maximum reduced accordingly to twenty nine (29) weeks, that is no less than sixteen (16) weeks as suggested from IBSC.

8. ISTITUTO IDROGRAFICO DELLA MARINA Comprehensive Final Field Project (HS Category B Course Programme) ITEM CFFP DESCRIPTION 1.Individuals will be experienced in performing as many hydrographic tasks as possible (as levelling, tide gauge installation, shore lining, multi-beam surveying, etc.). 2.Practical exercises occur associated with the educational modules. 3.The final project occurs at the end of the Programme and reflects the level of knowledge outlined in the programme syllabus. 4.Reference material is available to students, including an archive of case study material, equipment and costing information in order to allow students to plan and design the survey. 5.Considerations are given to involve experienced hydrographers, and instrumentations are provided also by external agencies in the final project, in order to supplement the resources of IIM. 6.Individuals prepare a CFFP report and associate survey deliverables. The CFFP report form part of the performance assessment for students.

9. ISTITUTO IDROGRAFICO DELLA MARINA PHASE II TRAINING ON BOARD Comprehensive Final Field Project (CFFP) This phase consists of a Hydrographic and Oceanographic training period on board the four Navy survey Vessels, Magnaghi, Galatea, Aretusa and Leonardo or private hydrographic vessels. The Vessels have full survey capabilities (hydrographic, oceanographic, topographic, geodetic). The training period will be focused on the following modules: Navigation and Meteorology. Hydrography, splitted into operations). Oceanography, splits into four sub-modules (organization, current measurements, sedimentology and hydrological measurements). Geodesy and Topography. Nautical auxiliary information (Sailing Direction, List of Lights, etc.) three sub-modules (organization, equipment and

It does however seek to recognize formal systems and schemes that review and assess individuals experience in order to provide them with professional certification or individual recognition of their Competency. QUESTIONNAIRE TO MBSHC MEMBERS Dear Colleagues, Chapter 6 of the "Guidelines for the implementation of the standards of competence for hydrographic surveyors and nautical cartographers" (ed. March 2017) focuses on the importance of professional certification or individual recognition schemes "to monitor and assess individuals at regular intervals and to register them in a formal system so that an individual may gain professional certification or individual recognition at a defined level of competency which may include Category A and Category B".
