This AMSA-approved hybrid course trains experienced marine pilots to develop and implement effective checking systems within safety management frameworks. Combining online theory with hands-on simulator training, it equips Check Pilots with tools to enhance safety culture and bridge the gap between planned and actual work practices.
Participants should be experienced marine pilots working as Check Pilots or involved in designing or improving checking systems. Basic familiarity with marine pilotage operations and safety management principles is assumed. Technical requirements include access to a computer with internet connectivity for the online component. No specific prior certifications are required beyond current pilot licensing.
The course covers the organisational and systems context of check piloting and its contribution to safety environments. Participants learn fundamentals of competency-based assessment and how to build and implement checking systems in marine pilotage. The course includes practical training in effective debriefing of pilots following observation under various conditions within a simulated environment. Content is delivered through theory, discussions, case studies, and practical exercises using Australia's most advanced marine pilot training facilities, including a full mission bridge simulator with 4K projections and interactive chart tables.
AMC Search is AMSA-approved to deliver the Check Pilot Training Course as an approved pilotage training course under Marine Order 54 (Coastal pilotage) 2014. The course is also approved by Safe Transport Victoria for meeting licensing and training requirements for marine pilots in Victoria. Delivery utilises Australia's most advanced marine pilot training facilities, including a Kongsberg Marine Polaris full mission bridge simulator with 4K projections, interactive 60-inch touch screen chart tables, and comprehensive debriefing capabilities.
Upon completion, Check Pilots will be equipped to create and apply effective checking tools and processes within their organisations. Graduates will support their organisation's safety management system implementation, contribute to developing high-reliability and ultra-safe systems of work, and enhance safety culture. The course strengthens leadership capabilities, enabling pilots to shape organisational culture and support continuous improvement in marine pilotage operations.
