Aims and Objective To embed the UniMET programme within the
partner countries through cross-referencing and review of the IMO Model programmes and courses as well as inclusion of good practices
To ensure that seafarers are compliant with IMO requirements
To make seafarers more mobile and employable
Aims and Objective To inform local, national and international
maritime organizations, awarding, licensing and professional bodies about the UniMET programme and seek their support in the harmonisation of MET provisions
By disseminating UniMET programme to key decision makers within maritime and government bodies it is hoped that they will accept and support the programme therefore enabling the expected changes to policies regarding MET to be made
Aims and Objective To establish a quality assurance and control system for the
delivery of UniMET Programme based on an existing good practices such as BTEC/Edexcel system
C4FF was involved in the development of the BTEC system and will provide valuable contacts and assistance in enhancing the system for the use in the delivery of the UniMET Programme
To spread UniMET further across Europe both during and after the project's completion, raising awareness and transferring good practices with the ultimate aim of improving the quality of MET and safety at sea worldwide
Impact and Sustainability The UniMET to be promoted through MET centers Cross referencing techniques is used to find the differences
in partner consortium Quality management model will be developed EDEXEL and partners own systems will be reviewed UniMET will address the EU Youth and Citizenship
programme aged between 16 and 30 will have increased employability within shipping industry. This will increase the attractiveness of profession by reducing the shortage of seafarers
Impact and Sustainability Since UniMET programme is implemented in partnership
consortium then the short term target group will be reached
IMarEST accreditation to be gathered for Engineering programme
Seminars with the staff and cadets in each institution and representatives from various stake holders part
Questionnaires is disseminated to the target group icularly from industry will be carried.
Articles, papers and workshops to be published for conferences such as IMLA, IMEC, IMAM and so forth.
Impact and Sustainability Presentations to be made to IMO sub-committee
involving the major awarding, accreditation and licensing bodies to promote UniMET
Each partner will support the expansion of UniMET programme across EUROPE.
UniMET will support the projects such as ATRACT ME to encourage young people to undertake career in the merchant navy.
EMSA will be a major incentives for UniMET to be promoted and sustained
Impact and Sustainability Programme will be supported and will lead to
qualifications recognised internationally Having international recognitions for officers has a
tremendous impact for shipping companies such as those in Turkey
Acceptance of SOS programme which is the core of the UniMET has already been tested through mobility programmes such as TRAIN 4Cs I and II
The approach adopted in the SOS was to find the common denominators through cross-referencing methods which developed in a previous EU project (EUTOTECNET). These methods will be used in UniMET
