Sažetak
This paper discusses some of practical aspects of maritime programme review when it is carried out by highly experienced professionals in order to identify weaknesses and shortcomings and provide recommendations for the programme improvement. This approach is used on occasions and primerily on a consulting basis. There are quite substantial dividends that peer assessment of a programme provides. Arguably, a qualified review of a programme far exceeds the value of professional conferences where typically a limited number of topics are covered. Moreover, the relevance of conference discussions to specific programmes is often unclear. Programme review made by an expert brings instant results ready an immediate implementation. If such an assessment is carried out under the umbrella of a professional association, its value substantially increases and the corresponding costs decline. The paper examines the advantages of a peer assessment, and also the benefits for both, the programme which is being assessed and the assessor. Based on thorough analysis of widely used methods of programme evaluation and accreditation, principal components or categories of a programme peer review are identified bearing in mind the requirement to limit the scope and to avoid lengthy preparations especially by the subject of the assessment. The attempt is made to propose a variety of assessment tools in the form of direct and indirect metrics for the categories of assessment.
