The skipper\/mate assesses this and signs them off upon sufficient proficiency.    <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Training Record Book can be downloaded here, or you can buy a paper version of the book from the school for \u20ac25.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><strong>Important points regarding the <\/strong><strong>Training Record Book are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The sailing days must be signed off on a ship (or ships) that sail under class or are deployed as a &#8216;Training Vessel&#8217;.

Naturally, only those tasks that are applicable to the situation will then be signed off. For KZV, the number of sailing days that may be signed off on inland waterways is a maximum of half.  <\/li>\n<li>The Certificate of Proficiency must be applied for within four years after obtaining your certificate of theory. This means that the signed-off tasks must be a maximum of 4 years old. <\/li>\n<li>You may have sea time and tasks signed off even before you start school!
