Training and Advancement
After an initial assessment period, we hope that it will be possible to accept you as a Watchkeeper Under Training and you will begin working through the Training Check List with the goal of becoming a fully certified Watchkeeper.
As mentioned in the foreword, you will do training whilst on watch under the guidance of a more senior and experienced NCI member. Training will also take place during ‘whole station meetings’ as described.
To help you complete the Training Check List, the station has a Training Manual, which you can borrow or obtain electronically. You will also need to read and follow Local Operating and Administrative Procedures and Health and Safety Instructions, the intention being that we should all work to a common standard.
Subsequent advancement to Senior Watchkeeper is entirely possible, whatever your background. |
