Apprenticeship training on board ships is a mandatory component of seafarers training scheme. Traditionally, seafarers develop best part of their disciplinary knowledge and competencies by means of apprenticeship and workplace learning through legitimate participation at work on board ships. A significant feature of the traditional apprenticeship is the availability of the process of performing a task for the apprentices to observe. There is a transparent relationship between a skill, its use, and the outcome of its application. In the work environment the apprenticship process makes it easy for seafaring trainees to learn the required skill by observation of application of skills by expert crewmemebrs. At the the same time the expert is able to monitor the trainee’s application of the skill and to observe and diagnose if there is any error in understanding of the task or the application of the skill by the future seafarer.
