✨ Marine Engineers Examination Rules



APRIL 9.]

THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

As it is possible for a candidate who may be unable to calculate
horse-power from indicator diagrams, strength of boiler-seams, &c., to
pass in practical mathematics, and as a drawing may be passed as
such although containing faults of a practical description, the Examiner
should scrutinize the candidate's worked papers with a view to testing,
if necessary, his ability in respect to the matters indicated above,
and also with a view to including in the verbal examination questions
on such practical deficiencies as may appear in his papers.

Should a candidate fail in verbals, the points on which failure takes
place should be stated in the Examiner's report on the examination.

FAILURE IN EXAMINATION.

  1. Should a candidate fail in practical knowledge he may not
    present himself for re-examination until he can produce proof of six
    months' further sea service in a qualifying capacity in a foreign-going
    ship, or nine months' similar service in the home trade. Failure in
    subjects ignorance of which might lead an engineer to do something
    actually unsafe in the management of any part of a ship's machinery
    will be regarded as failure in practical knowledge.

A candidate who fails through ignorance of fundamental principles,
or on account of general defectiveness throughout the examination
should not be re-examined for any certificate until after a lapse of six
months. In such a case, if the candidate's deficiencies indicate the
necessity for further study rather than practical experience, he need
not be required to perform additional sea service.

In ordinary cases of failure, a first- or second-class candidate may
present himself for re-examination at any of the times specified in
Rule 8, but if he fails three times in any part or parts of the examination within any period of three months, he will not be re-examined
until after a lapse of three months from the date of the last failure.

The candidate for a third-class certificate who fails to pass may,
in ordinary cases of failure, present himself for re-examination at any
of the times specified in Rule 8. Should such a candidate fail through
lack of practical knowledge or ignorance of fundamental principles, or
on account of general defectiveness throughout the examination, he
should not be re-examined until after a lapse of three months.

In any cases of failure the re-examination must embrace all the
subjects.

EXAMINATION RESULTS.

  1. All candidates should be informed of the results of examinations.

REPORTS OF EXAMINATIONS.

  1. Reports of examinations, together with the candidates' applications, and all examination-papers should be sent to the Chief Examiner
    as soon as the examinations are finished
