Introducing new technologies, knowledge, understanding and proficiency for seafarers is a challenging task for maritime instructors in the consideration of maritime safety. Effective teaching strategies depend on qualified instructors working both within the International Convention of Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW Convention) requirements and having adequate teaching arrangements. According to the STCW Convention every party shall ensure that all instructors of Maritime Education and Training institutions (MET institutions) are appropriately qualified for the particular type and levels of training they are responsible for delivering. This article presents a review of factors that are not included in the STCW Convention requirements and are considered important for the development of instructor’s competences and appropriate best practice strategies for teaching and learning. Adoption of a wider set of guidelines, currently proposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), but not broadly adopted is advocated based on a fast growing industry and a need to continuously challenge and review safety standards.
