Training Record Book for Ships’ Cooks (1st,2021)

International Chamber of Shipping is excited to launch the Training Record Book for Ships’ Cooks – the first global resource designed to help ships’ cooks demonstrate competency and record their training and experience as they develop their careers at sea.

The new record book has been written based on the competence requirements of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Guidelines on the training of ships’ cooks, enabling evidence of competency to be recorded in all key areas identified by the ILO. The Record Book covers both practical and safety skills, including cooking techniques and dealing with food allergies, and can be used at any level and in any country, both onboard and onshore during training.

The Training Record Book for Ships’ Cooks is an essential companion to the formal training undertaken by ships’ cooks
