Title: Water Transport Training
Location: Various locations in British Columbia
Work Description:
Several RCMP detachments in “E” Division utilize RCMP owned water craft for operational service delivery. There are in excess of one hundred and five (105) water crafts in this Division under five (5) gross tons (GT). The RCMP has a requirement to provide Water Transport Training to ensure the participants receive proper training in marine vessels operation and execution of marine policing duties in accordance with the RCMP Course Training Standard (CTS) as well as the competencies required by Transport Canada (TC) for operators of marine vessels. Transport Canada requires the operators of all RCMP vessels to hold a minimum of a 1) Small Vessel Proficiency certificate 2) Marine Emergency Duties certificate and 3) Restricted Operators (Maritime) radio license requirements
The RCMP Course Training Standard (CTS) titled “ Inland Basic Water Transport” (BWT) (CL5501) supports this requirement. A new National CTS for the BWT Course is currently under development in consultation with Transport Canada. In addition to the BWT course, operators functioning in a coastal environment require training in more advanced chart work, radar/GPS, and boat handling specific to the equipment utilized at their Detachments. The Advanced Water Transport (AWT) Course (CL5503) meets this need. The AWT Course is held in the vicinity of, or the physical location of the RCMP vessel and the members at that location requiring training.
The coordination and delivery of the water transport courses is an ongoing requirement for members of the RCMP. Instructors must meet Transport Canada requirements and have a high level of experience and appropriate certification to deliver this type of training. Given the number of RCMP vessels located throughout the Division and the issue of releasing operational members to support lengthy training requirements, an external contractor is required to support course delivery.
