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.
