Aims and Objectives:

The development of the Offshore Lifeboat Coxswain Competence standard involved the analysis of functions required of personnel who carry out emergency lifeboat coxswain duties offshore. The competence standards provide a clear description of performance in the workplace:

• What practitioners are expected to do
• The underpinning knowledge and skills they would require to enable them to do what was expected
• How they could demonstrate what was expected of them
• How their performance would be assessed

Target audience:

The Offshore Lifeboat Coxswain Competence Standard is designed for delegates currently employed as an Offshore Lifeboat Coxswain.

Delegate pre-requisites:

Delegates must either have appropriate experience as an Offshore Lifeboat Coxswain or have taken the OPITO Offshore Lifeboat Coxswain Training and have subsequently used the skills in the workplace.
