Insights into MET Practice – Exploring the Position of Instructors, Assessors, Supervisors

The new technologies and STCW requirements place high demands and require highly qualified instructors and assessors, so standards must be established and well defined. Therefore, the authors have made a thorough analysis of the STCW Convention and Code, as well as of the relevant IMO Model Courses (6.09, 6.19, 3.12, 1.30). These courses are helpful, but in each of them it is pointed out that “the knowledge, skills and dedication of the instructors are the key components in the transfer of knowledge and skills”. Qualified instructors are an invaluable factor in implementing the requirements set forth in the STCW Convention. Therefore, the authors examined the competencies required by MET institutions and competencies required by the Parties to the STCW Convention. The survey included 113 respondents in 26 countries that provide maritime education and training. The data were collected using an online questionnaire. Based on the findings collected, the authors provide recommendations for improving the training process in general. The main focus was on IMO Model Courses, training and qualifications of assessors and supervisors. This comprehensive survey can help the Administration of the Republic of Croatia and training providers to ensure a high-quality learning environment by training the trainers in accordance with the STCW Convention and Code.
