Consultation Report: Cadet Training & Modernisation Programme Syllabus Review – Fourth Group of Consultation Templates

Updated 26 June 2023

Foreword

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), an executive Agency of the Department for Transport (DfT), carried out a public consultation on behalf of the Cadet Training and Modernisation (CT&M) Programme from 6th March to the 3rd April 2023 regarding the Cadet Training Syllabus Review. The consultation was published on 6th March 2023 and notification of the consultation was sent to all participants of the CT&M Programme for wider dissemination through the maritime industry. This was also promoted on social media platforms and maritime news outlets.

The proposed amendments to the Cadet training syllabus were published in multiple formats and feedback on these amendments was gathered through surveys hosted on Smart Survey.

Key Findings

1.1 Introduction

Through the process of the consultation, it has been found that the majority of survey respondents agreed with the changes suggested by CT&M Sub-Group 1.2.

1.2 Consultation

1.2.1 The fourth consultation was carried out between 6th March and 3rd April 2023 and can be found at: www.gov.uk

1.2.2 A total of 15 responses were received across the seven templates. With all respondents answering every question posed on their survey. A summary of consultee responses and the action taken by CT&M Sub-Group 1.2 as a result can be found in Annex A. A more detailed summary can be found in the accompanying ‘Detail of feedback received’ section of the consultation page. The answers given have been fully and carefully considered.

1.2.3 This consultation has been completed in order to ensure best practice has been followed and provide the opportunity for feedback from the entire maritime industry. There was no legal requirement to undertake this consultation.

Consultation Outcome

Summary of responses

2.1 Introduction

2.1. 1 A total of 32 outcomes over eight templates were posed in the fourth consultation.

2.1.2 These outcomes, together with the consultees comments and the Cadet Training & Modernisation Sub-Group 1.2’s response, are shown in detail in the accompanying ‘Detail of feedback received’ section of the consultation page. However, the main points are summarised below at Annex A.

2.1.3 Finalised versions of each module can also be found in the ‘Detail of outcome’ section of the consultation page.

Our response

3.1 What happens next?

3.1.1 The MCA will make the appropriate amendments to the syllabus templates. These will then be used to create academic modules that will form the new Cadet training syllabus with a view to complete this process by the end of 2023.

3.1.2. Once these academic modules have been created, it will take approximately 12 to 18 months to implement the new syllabus.

3.1.3. Cadet Assessment and the Training Record Book will also be amended to reflect these changes.

Outcomes for this competency, above and beyond STCW which would be needed due to use of modern technology and impact of future fuels onboard:
Objective	Reason Why	Action required	Consultation Support %
Ensure all outcomes are contextualised to help Cadets understand what they are learning in relation to what they will experience at sea.	While some outcomes are intrinsically linked to work carried out at sea, some need to be contextualised to show how they apply to work on board. Where this is the case, it is important to make sure Cadets clearly understand how the outcome relates to work at sea and it is essential to make sure that this context is given with reference to current and future seagoing technologies and practices.	Where outcomes do not specifically cover a topic which relates to work carried out at sea, more must be done to contextualise the outcome and make it relevant to the maritime industry, giving specific shipping examples of how the outcome may be applied in a modern shipping context. Not every template has contextualisation recommendations but please do add any you feel may have been missed.	No Feedback Received
Include Human Element Factors throughout the syllabus	To provide seafarers with a contextualised understanding of the Human Element in the maritime industry, showing how they can put theory into practice in the work they carry out at sea.	Raise awareness throughout the Cadet’s training of the areas in which human element factors will have an impact. Recommendations on where this can be included have been noted throughout the entire syllabus. Not every template has Human Element Factor recommendations but please do add any you feel may have been missed.	No Feedback Received
Include Data Science skills throughout the syllabus	Data Science Skills (Comprehension, Analysis, Presentation, etc…) are already required within much of the syllabus. A further, specific focus on these skills needs to be taught where relevant.	A specific topic will need to be introduced to improve Cadets’ Data Science skills. Practical application of data science skills should be highlighted throughout the syllabus. Not every template has Data Science recommendations but please do add any you feel may have been missed.
