Conditions of Registration

All about teamwork and support. There are two sides to the relationship between BSS examiners and the Boat Safety Scheme.

There is the Service Level Agreement (SLA) that allows the expression of the terms and conditions of being an authorised BSS Examiner to be both short and simple.

BSS examiners have can expect a working relationship where support from the BSS office team is mirrored by individual BSS Examiners reviewing their own activities and performance and addressing any inconsistencies.

And there are the Conditions of Registration, the minimum expected performance criteria for examiners.

Conditions of Registration (CoR)

Every year, an examiner will sign an agreement to abide to the CoR, so what are they? The CoR cover the essential examiner activity and responsibilities. As such there is further guidance and details of such actions for example, when carrying out examinations or maintaining knowledge, on the various pages of this website.

What does it mean, why is it included - help is at hand

We have provided a detailed glossary and explanatory in a Guidance document to help support examiners looking at the CoR. For each section of the CoR it expands on some details, it describes the benefits for examiners and it explains the purpose for having the clause.

Examiner safety, training and other considerations each individual must have

There are other responsibilities on the CoR that are fleshed-out in the Explanatory document. These will refer on to training, and personal safety and eventually other information in this section of the website.

The additional guidance will help examiners to keep within the conditions and to help examiners better understand the protection the CoR gives them.
