Narrative:
Departure clearance was 230 degree heading and climb to 4000 ft with vectors to intercept aus 330 degree radial (departure runway 13). Captain on IOE misset 330 degree heading and I didn't catch it. Completed turn to about 300 degrees when told to roll out by departure control. Then told to turn to 350 degrees to intercept 330 degree radial and continue departure. No other problems. Error should have been caught on instrument check.
