QEs Evaluate a candidate as a team member or leader in stressful situations. A coxswain, for example, holds the ultimate safety of the crew and vessel in their hands. Ø Evaluate seamanship, specific task/procedure skills Ø Evaluate future independent performance safely, under USCG policy, and as a USCG representative R EV IE W Ø December 2, 2006 D 1 NR QE ABCTM update 2

W The Check Ride… R EV IE …is the candidate evaluation opportunity December 2, 2006 D 1 NR QE ABCTM update 3

The Check Ride … is inherently stressful for the candidate: real capabilities become visible because of training and candidate’s own confidence in the face of evaluation stress. Ø QEs must observe and let the candidate make decisions…. but step in and terminate any evolution that has become unsafe. (The coxswain-of-record is ultimately responsible for safety. ) Ø QEs explain their evaluations, not remain forever silent and only say go/no-go at the end. Ø December 2, 2006 D 1 NR QE ABCTM update 4

Before Any Check Ride Candidates must truly be ready. Mentors must agree (for initial qualification). The Flotilla Commander must agree (either through personal knowledge or by knowledge of the FSO-MT and/or FSO-OP). Many people are involved with a check ride (facilities, crews, QEs, candidate(s)); it is important to make sure this will be a productive session, and not have to revert to a training session December 2, 2006 D 1 NR QE ABCTM update 5
