SM IRBD Trainers please note

Please find attached the following:

1.       SMIRBD Pre Course Workbook – for candidates

2.       SMIRBD Pre Course Workbook – for assessors (with answers)

This new version has been produced due to NSW Maritime changing their boat licence exam, and we have now brought our assessment to be more in line with theirs. This has resulted in the following:

• Reduced the number of questions from 63 to 41 as much of the information is now in the SLSA SMIRBD resources
• Reduced the number of pages in the workbook from 14 to 8
• Removed the requirement for the workbook to be printed in colour.

While there are colour pictures in the assessment, the pictures which have been used do not require that the candidate sees the colour of the navigation markers alone i.e. they should be able to identify the navigation markers by their shape too. Should you wish to print in colour, there are only 2 pages effected.
