CASE FOR CHANGE - ETO MARITIME TRAINING PACKAGE
Maritime Industry Reference Committee
2
A. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
Industry Reference Committee submitting the Case for Change
Maritime Industry Reference Committee (IRC)
Skills Service Organisation responsible for preparing the Case for Change Australian Industry Standards Limited (AIS)
Development of the Case for Change This Case for Change was developed by the Maritime IRC. It is focused on, but not limited to, setting
out the strategic and evidentiary case (including an analysis of the level of industry support) for
developing a new qualification, relevant to:
• Electro-technical Officer (ETO) required competencies
• Australian Maritime Safety Authority regulatory requirements
The Case for Change was developed in consultation with Maritime stakeholders, and with consideration
of the Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy. It outlines the imperatives for
change to ensure that the AISC can make decisions on the proposed work, based on robust evidence.
Maritime Training Package products listed in Attachment A, are proposed for development as part of
this Case for Change. This includes:
• A new qualification for ETOs
• Five new Units of Competency
• Review of 34 Units of Competency
B. THE CASE FOR CHANGE
Drivers for change The Maritime Training Package incorporates the requirements of the Australian Maritime Safety
Authority (AMSA) in the qualifications, Skill Sets and Units of Competency. These AMSA requirements
are in the form of Marine Orders or a direct relationship to the Standards of Training Certification and
Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW 95) Convention.
AMSA is responsible for monitoring ship, crew and coastal pilot compliance with maritime safety
standards including:
• Providing occupational health and safety inspectorate services under the Occupational Health and
Safety (Maritime Industry) Act 1993.
• Ensuring safety training of crew on ships operating under the Navigation Act 2012 meet the
standards of the Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW 95)
Convention.
This Case for Change is predicated on the following drivers:
• a need to provide a pathway for ETOs to gain AMSA certification for this job role
• meeting the industry requirements for an ETO
• addressing the regulatory requirements of AMSA for an ETO
3
• addressing the identified gap in the Maritime Training Package to provide the skills and
knowledge for certification required for an ETO
Recommended changes The Maritime IRC recommends that the products listed in Attachment A be approved for
development, based on the following evidence:
• In 2010, the “Manila amendments to STCW 95” created a requirement for a new qualification for
ETO
• AMSA certification requirements for an Electro-Technical Officer Certificate of Competency, Marine
Order 72 (Engineer officers) 2014, made under the Navigation Act 2012
• No current Training Package product is contained within the Maritime Training Package to provide
for Electro-technical officers to gain AMSA certification for this job role.
C. INDUSTRY SUPPORT FOR CHANGE
Stakeholder Consultation Key individual and group stakeholders who were consulted, or provided information in the
development of this Case for Change over the period of six months, are listed in Attachment B.
The information contained within the Case for Change was made available to the public, industry
stakeholders and State Training Authorities for comment and feedback through the Australian
Industry Standards website and registered stakeholder communications, over the period [insert
consultation period(s)]. The Maritime IRC reviewed and approved this Case for Change on [insert
date].
Overview of the issues identified ETOs currently have no training pathway to obtain AMSA certification.
The Maritime Training Package must be reviewed to provide the skills and knowledge for the AMSA
certification required for an ETO.
This certificate of competency is issued under Marine Order 72 (Engineer officers) 2014, made under
the Navigation Act 2012.
• Five new Units of Competency are to be developed to meet industry requirements, aligned
with AMSA certification requirements and the requirements of the STCW.
o Operate computers and computer networks on ships
o Use internal communication systems
o Maintenance and repair of bridge navigation equipment and ship communications systems
o Maintenance and repair of control and safety systems of hotel equipment
o Operate and maintain power systems in excess of 1,000 volts
Issues and sensitivities
4
There are no residual issues identified by the Maritime IRC that have not been addressed within this
Case for Change. Feedback was received during the consultation period that expressed support for
the proposed Case for Change, with no dissenting views raised to the Maritime IRC for consideration.
D. IMPACTS OF CHANGE
Workforce Currently there is no training pathway available for the ETOs in the Maritime workforce. This has
created a skills shortage for the Australian Maritime industry. This results in the Maritime industry
employing overseas workers to fill these roles.
Maritime stakeholders consulted to date, have identified that the proposed changes to Maritime
Training Package will result in the following benefits to the Maritime industry:
• Provide maritime enterprises with a development pathway for ETOs
• Allow ETOs to enter the maritime industry, compliant with AMSA certification requirements
• Facilitate the capacity for marine engineers to also train as ETOs
• Facilitate the capacity for ETOs to also train as marine engineers
• Achieves regulatory compliance for Maritime organisations
RTOs will need to apply to have this new qualification on their scope of registration to enable delivery
to students. They will also need to have the required high voltage equipment or have access to the
required equipment.
Identification of benefits of change
Maritime stakeholder consultation to date, has identified that the proposed changes to Maritime
Training Package products will result in the following benefits to the Maritime industry:
• A pathway for the development of ETOs
• Compliance with AMSA certification requirements for the Maritime industry
Identification of risks of not implementing proposed change Maritime stakeholder consultation to date identified that by not implementing the proposed changes
to the Maritime Training Package, will result in the following risks to the Maritime industry:
• No pathway for ETOs to gain the skill and knowledge for AMSA certification.
• A skills shortage for AMSA certified ETOs in the Maritime industry
• Non-compliance to STCW
• Forcing Australian mariners to go off shore for training in this role
• Potential loss of Australian jobs in the maritime industry to overseas applicants
• Diminished Vocational Education Training (VET) market for Australian Registered Training
Organisations
Proposed approach and estimated timeframes for undertaking
development work Completion of all development work is proposed to be undertaken over the period April 2018 through
till April 2019. The Maritime IRC intends to submit a Maritime Training Package Release TBA Case for
Endorsement with supporting material for submission to the AISC before 30th April 2019.

E. IMPLEMENTING THE COAG INDUSTRY AND SKILLS COUNCIL
REFORMS FOR TRAINING PACKAGES This Case for Change addresses the COAG Industry and Skills Council (CISC) suite of reforms to the
Training Package system in response to the Review of Training Packages and Accredited Courses in
the following manner:
• Removing obsolete and superfluous qualifications from the training system to make it easier for
consumers to find the training relevant to their needs.
o This case for change does not propose the removal of any obsolete or superfluous Maritime
Training Package products.
• Making more information available about industry’s expectations of training delivery, to training
providers to improve their delivery and to consumers, to enable them to make more informed
course choices.
o An overview of Maritime training delivery information relevant to the ETOs training and
regulatory requirements will be included in the supporting Companion Volume Implementation
Guide. This will be supported by information on the AMSA website relating to ETOs
certification.
• Ensuring the training system better supports individuals to move easily from one related
occupation to another.
o Facilitate the opportunity for engineer watchkeepers to transition to ETO roles and vice versa
in the future
• Improving the efficiency of the training system by creating units that can be owned and used by
multiple industry sectors and housing these units in a ‘work and participation bank’.
o This Case for Change proposes the development of five new Units of Competency to meet the
AMSA Electro-technical Officers certification requirements. The five new units will also
facilitate transition of existing occupations of the Maritime industry to the Electro-technical
Officer position.
• Fostering greater recognition of Skill Sets.
o The units to be developed may also be packaged as a Skill Set if required by the Maritime
industry in the future.
• Ensuring that accredited courses ‘fill the gap’ in Training Packages and provide for training
courses to be developed as quickly as industry needs them and support niche skill needs.
o This Case for Change does not propose a requirement for development of an existing or
proposed accredited course.
Industry Reference Committee Signoff This Case for Change was agreed to by the Maritime IRC:
