Abstract

Experts consider maritime training to be an integral and fundamental part of seafarers' professional training. Therefore, maritime training is considered to be a part of the curriculum of maritime educational institutions. In order to qualify as a seafarer or marine engineer, all cadets are required to successfully complete at least a one-year maritime training programme. This training is usually carried out on board the relevant merchant vessels. The level of training is assessed by the ship's crew and teachers at the educational institutions. Identify the shortcomings of maritime practical training on a particular training ship based on the identification and assessment of the qualifications achieved by cadets on board. It is recommended to conduct the study in three stages. The first stage evaluates the results of observation by the ship's crew and questionnaires conducted by the board, which are highly subjective and cannot be assessed using a measurable method. The second stage is devoted to the assessment of the results of the written examination and the answers to the questionnaire using a measurable method. At the third stage, based on the overall assessment of the results of the previous stages, problems are identified, the solution of which may lead to certain proposals for necessary changes in the future. Education and training are of no value in the absence of proper assessment. Given that practical training is an integral part of academic education, it is necessary to improve the system of assessment of practical training. On-the-job training is becoming increasingly important to improve cadets' practical knowledge and skills directly related to using equipment to achieve their mission. Practical training will also help cadets to become familiar with their future workplaces. Therefore, training institutions should pay more attention to practical training and develop procedures for effective training
