BCQP Check Ride Scenarios January District ConferenceJanuary 7, 2006Newport, RI This presentation will be posted at www.d1nr-bcqp.us
Today’s Session • BCQP and role of QE/Check Ride (review!) • What happens prior to Check Rides • Crew Check Ride discussions • Coxswain Check Ride discussions
BCQP is 22 years old • The Boat Crew Qualification Program is intended to facilitate the qualification of members in surface operations, not to act as a “rite of passage” or an unnecessary burden • The process must be professional and complete • Not all Auxiliary members are suited for surface operations roles, even if motivated. REVIEW
QEs are Extensions of OTO • The DIRAUX Operations and Training Officer cannot perform evaluations of candidates, but the OTO is the CG individual that certifies members. • QEs are the objective and subjective evaluators for the OTO. • QEs must be the best and most experienced coxswains possible to be most effective. REVIEW
QEs • Evaluate a candidate as a team member or leader in stressful situations. A coxswain, for example, holds the ultimate safety of the crew and vessel in their hands. • Evaluate seamanship, specific task/procedure skills • Evaluate future independent performance safely, under USCG policy, and as a USCG representative REVIEW
The Check Ride… …is the candidate evaluation opportunity REVIEW
The Check Ride … • is inherently stressful for the candidate: real capabilities become visible because of training and candidate’s own confidence in the face of evaluation stress. • QEs must observe and let the candidate make decisions….but step in and terminate any evolution that has become unsafe. (The coxswain-of-record is ultimately responsible for safety.) • QEs explain their evaluations, not remain forever silent and only say go/no-go at the end.
Before Any Check Ride Candidates must truly be ready. Mentors must agree. The Flotilla Commander must agree (either through personal knowledge or by knowledge of the FSO-MT and/or FSO-OP). Many people are involved with a check ride (facilities, crews, QEs, candidate(s)); it is important to make sure this will be a productive session, and not revert to a training session
Prior to the Crew Check Ride • Question:What does the QE ask the candidate BEFORE the crew dockside examination or underway check task starts? (presuming candidate has their Qualification Guide with them, another pre-requisite!)
Prior to the Crew Check Ride Answer: • Are ALL mentor tasks complete and signed (including TCT task completion, BCM-01-03-AUX)? • Has the crew candidate submitted their Direct Operational security check material? • Does the candidate have the certificate of completion of an authorized boating course so the QE can sign that task (BCM-08-01-AUX)?
Prior to the Coxswain Check Ride • Question:What does the QE ask the candidate BEFORE the coxswain dockside examination or underway check task starts? (presuming candidate has their Qualification Guide with them, another pre-requisite!)
Prior to the Coxswain Check Ride Answer: (for initial qualification check ride) • Is the candidate currently certified as crew: not in REYR, not in REWK? • Does the candidate have evidence of 28 hours underway as crew so the QE can sign that task (COX-01-01-AUX)? • Are ALL mentor tasks complete and signed? • Has the coxswain candidate submitted their Direct Operational security check material? • Does the candidate have proof of NavRules completion so the QE can sign that task (COX-04-01-AUX)?
