  3. 2017Compliance with 2010 Manila Amendments to STCW 95 for Deck Officers • ECDIS for Operational & Management Levels • Leadership & Managerial Skills • Engine Resource Management • Management of Electrical and Electronic Control Equipment • Assessor Training Requirements • Vessel Security • Refresher for Basic Training, AFF, etc.

  4. Limits on what STCW can do for Improving Safety STCW Code provides the baseline for what to include in the training and assessments. It is up to the Flag State and the Ship Operator on the method used to achieve the desired skill competence (Knowledge, Understanding and Proficiency) “People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” ― Dale Carnegie

  5. Knowledge, Understanding & Proficiency • Mariner training must be viewed as a continuum starting with structured programs for bringing people into industry, and • Part of a system for ensuring continued level of performance in core competencies (especially in the area of bridge watch standing skills). • STCW encourages structured on-board training programs that have proven superior results. The principles of mentorship are reasonably simple. The relationship should be mutually beneficial, in that both parties should participate and contribute to one another’s goals and expectations. An openness to change and a willingness to learn are essential. -Karl Moore, Forbes/Leadership

  6. Reality • How does a mariner comply with the about 150 tasks required by the USCG for a Deck License; • How does a ship’s officer find the time to train and assess mariners in this era of Minimum Safe Manning; • How does a novice navigate the complex world of becoming a qualified Officer?

  7. STCW Compliant • One year (360 calendar days) of sea-service. • 32 Weeks of classroom and simulation training - Trained to a Second Mate level. • On-Board training and assessment, structured classroom and simulation training, and assessment. • Mentoring and oversight throughout the program • Navigation Skills Assessment during last phase.

  8. Workboat Academy – By the Numbers • One way is recruitment, placement and retention. Since 2006, our Maritime Academy Division has delivered: • 100% Placement. • 90+% Retention from License Graduates. • 90+% Retention during Probationary Period. • 90+% Retention after Probationary Period. • 90+% USCG Exam Pass Rate. • 40+ Partner Companies Employee retention starts with the application process. –US Equal Employment opportunity Commission
