Unification of Marine Education and Training

The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) developed the first standard for Vocational Education and Training (VET) programmes for merchant navy officers (STCW) in 1978, and it has been amended in 1991, 1995, 2003 and 2010 respectively. However, there is currently no mechanism to monitor how these standards are being applied as many VET providers have been found not to follow many requirements.
