skills required as an engineer or on deck to follow the Officer of the Watch limited certification. Says Lippuner, “Training purely to pass an examination is a very dangerous thing. Learning can be defined as an alteration in long-term memory. If nothing has altered in long-term memory, nothing has been learned. However, simply coaching students to pass exams will not lead to very little long-term learning and is thus dangerous to the students and the wider industry alike. All schools should thus be driven by a desire to provide effective learning and teaching.”
He adds that the industry and its practices constantly evolve and it is important that formal courses and assessment evolve
alongside. “This can only be done,” continues Lippuner, “in close collaboration between the regulator, the MCA, and industry representative bodies, such as IAMI (International Association of Maritime Institutions) or others.”
In order to keep up with the changes Lippuner sees a two-pronged approach as an effective practice: One hand continues to work with the regulating bodies to ensure the right assessment is up- to-date and in place. On the other hand work within the industry to define the self-imposed standards it wants to adhere to. The latter should extend beyond safety related issues advises Lippuner.
The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) is another source of traditional seagoing training. Its network has an international reach with around 2,400 training centres in 58 countries and 250,000 people take training with the RYA each year.
