Do the official course assessments require an Invigilator?

For MCA Approved (STCW ISPS) Designated Security Duties (PDSD) and Ship Security Officer (SSO) you must have access to someone who will act as your Official Assessment Invigilator [the SSO, Master, another Officer-ranked Person, or Person of good Standing]. The person acting as your Invigilator must complete the following form and submit their photo ID (linked from the course) prior to you taking the Assessment(s). If you don’t have access to an Invigilator, we can provide you with a Remote Invigilation Session, free of charge unless requested out-of-hours (additional charge will apply). This is covered under another question.
