This concept now seems so mewhat outdated and inflexible. Furthermore\, asking an examiner whose spe cialism is coding motorboats to sit through a presentation on workboats an d cranes at a training day is not a great use of anyone’s time\, unless it has direct relevance of course!\n\nIt has always been a requirement as part of the Institute’s contract with the Maritime &\; Coastguard Age ncy (MCA) that our coding examiners are continually assessed\, which inclu des attending training. And at MCA audit the CA is asked to provide eviden ce that this has happened.\n\nThe new-look CA training strategy aims to be more targeted toward various specific aspects of the Codes. So instead of full days of training covering a variety of topics\, the IIMS CA is plann ing a series of succinct\, tailored presentations that last for a much sho rter time for a modest fee\, all broadcast via Zoom whilst the pandemic co ntinues. It is expected that coding examiners will have attended two train ing sessions in one full calendar year. A series of training dates for 202 1 will be published in the coming weeks\, but for now\, the first one in t his new format is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 10 November starting at 10.00 (London UK time).\n\n10.00 An explanation of the process of Plan Approval for an under 24 metre hull and deck structure by a Class Associat ion by Mike Barnett.\nAspects covered include:\n- Workshop and manufacture r’s procedures approval\n- Typical drawings and calculations reviewed\n- Likely number of visits to inspect mouldings or fabrications\n- Extent of scantling checking and inspection of quality records\n- Format of certifi cates including limitations (speed\, displacement and wave height)\n- Vess el / hull markings and/or plating\n- Validity (or invalidity of certificat e) if the structure is altered\n\n11.30 Roger Barry\, Marine Safety Engine ering Manager\, Inmarsat\, gives an overview of GMDSS (Global Maritime Dis tress and Safety System)\n\n12.15 Update on the Codes by Fraser Noble\, II MS Certifying Authority Chairman\n\n13.00 Close\n\nThe cost of this traini ng session is £45 - please reserve your place below. If you prefer not to book online\, please call Camella Robertson on +44 23 9238 5223 or email her to reserve your place.\n\nIIMS CA training has always been open to exa miners from other organisations and this policy will not change. Equally\, if an IIMS examiner attends training provided by another UK CA\, that sho uld be recorded with the Institute.
