Practice questions

Answer aloud, then open the preparation point.

1Which CAP modules and ratings have actually been completed?

Read them directly from the final class CAP document and distinguish them from requested or pending scope.

2What date is entered as the CAP survey date?

Use the date defined by the programme and PIQ guidance, not automatically the certificate issue date.

3Where is the supporting CAP certificate available?

Produce the controlled onboard copy and confirm the uploaded document is the same current version.

4Is CAP a statutory or class requirement for this vessel?

Explain that CAP is generally an owner-requested condition assessment and state the commercial or company requirement applicable here.

5How was the PIQ entry verified before submission?

Show comparison against the class document by a responsible person and correction control for any mismatch.

Where an observation may arise

FALSE RATING

A pending or incomplete module is declared as rated.

WRONG DATE

The certificate issue date is incorrectly entered as the survey date.

MISSING CERTIFICATE

The declared CAP certificate is unavailable onboard or not uploaded.

PIQ ERROR

The class, module or rating differs from the PIQ.

KNOWLEDGE

Responsible officers cannot explain what the declared CAP rating covers.

Master's practical note

Treat CAP as a data-accuracy question. Do not describe a rating from memory; copy the module, grade and date from the final class document and verify the same information wherever it is declared.

Equipment boundary and references

Equipment boundary: CAP scope and rating scales depend on the classification society and selected modules. The final class document controls the declaration.
