3 SECTION ONE – GENERAL INFORMATION<br />

3.1 Training principles and targets<br />

This section is intended for instructors. Its purpose is to assist them by providing ways of<br />

tackling objectives and organizing instruction, so that they can meet training targets by taking<br />

into account the context and the candidates being trained.<br />

Main principles<br />

These principles provide guidelines for choosing strategies and methods to meet training goals<br />

and objectives.<br />

• Keep in mind that a person’s ability to learn is closely linked to the strategies and methods<br />

used to meet training objectives.<br />

• Give preference to practical learning activities and projects suited to the work situation and<br />

the real world.<br />

• Encourage active participation and make candidates responsible for their own learning.<br />

• Take into account adults’ academic background and prior experience and incorporate these<br />

into the training.<br />

• Communicate with candidates in proper English and use correct technical terminology.<br />

• Promote reinforcement and absorption of material by gradually increasing complexity and<br />

by making candidates apply what they know to a range of practical situations.<br />

Training targets<br />

The program is intended to develop the skills and abilities needed to pilot a ship in this marine<br />

district. As well, it should strengthen candidates’ ability to form judgments, to analyse and<br />

synthesize, to develop their seaman’s sense, leadership and ability to work in a team, to<br />

withstand stress, and to react appropriately in unforeseen situations. These behaviour patterns<br />

are essential and should be reinforced by the instructor whenever appropriate. They are drawn<br />

from the program objectives.<br />
