Working title:
“An Evaluation on the Impact of
Simulation-Based Training on
Skills Acquisition and
Competence in
Maritime Education”
Significance of the study
This research study is very important because it
could change maritime education by showing
how useful simulation-based training is.
The maritime industry always wants to be safer
and more efficient.
This research could prove that simulators help
students learn practical skills, remember
information, and be better prepared for realworld maritime situations.
