This guide is the compiled work between Chalmers- and Linnaeus University and is designed to give the crew that are involved in On-Board Training, guidance on regulations, tasks as supervisors as well as how to use ISF Training Record Books.

The ISF Training Record Book has its advantages and disadvantages but it meets all national (Transportstyrelsen) and international (STCW) regulations on how training should be performed and documented. Apart from regulations, ISF Training Record Book is meant to serve as an aid to both instructors and cadets to structure On-Board Training.

These are only guidelines, depending on the ship type, trades, etc. there may be more/other tasks that the cadet should focus on. However, it is important to underline that the main reason why students participate in onboard training is to study. They shall not replace or supplement the vessel's regular crew.
