The aim of onboard training of apprentice engineers in the training ship is to support and enhance fundamental knowledge and ability to have both theoretical and practical skills. This diversity in education and training improve the capability to handle problems in a crisis and build-up the feeling of confidence so they can effectively accomplish their assigned tasks in special circumstance like those onboard. Therefore this study suggests some remedies for qualitative improvement and guidance of onboard training ship for apprentice engineers to achieve the aims of onboard training to foster talented marine engineer officers with professional knowledge and leadership.

In the current situation where clearly the ship officer is avoiding boarding, the purpose of this study is to investigate the satisfaction of onboard training in shipping companies during the COVID-19 situation and to suggest plans to improve onboard training. Furthermore, by improving satisfaction, students of maritime university can improve their career awareness as a ship officer in the future. The survey was conducted with the cadets of Mokpo Maritime University after completion of onboard training in shipping companies. The questionnaire contains seven factors: education administration, education contents, officer, facility, education ef ect, education satisfaction and career awareness. The survey analysis results indicated that the satisfaction with education administration and education effect was relatively low, and the satisfaction differed by gender and vessel type. In addition, hypothesis verification revealed that the education contents did not have a positive effect on education satisfaction and career awareness. Furthermore, a great correlation existed between education satisfaction and career awareness. We suggested that education and promotion must be improved before onboard training. In addition, the officer must be educated on the method to teach cadets and establish a training plan such that the officer can systematically guide the cadets with an educator mindset.

This study investigated the purpose of commissioned on-board training and the legal basis for the management of commissioned on-board trainees, focusing on the seafarer educational institution belonging to the Ministry of Education, which cultivates merchant mariners. A program was developed based on this research. Despite the legal basis for the management of commissioned on-board trainees, satisfaction with on-board training management has not been high, and the on-board trainee management system of the university was poor. As a result safety accidents among commissioned on-board trainees occurred on ships, and a few students abandoned on-board training. An I.M.S.A.R. model has been developed for safe and systematic management of commissioned on-board trainees, and a base for a human resource management program for commissioned on-board trainees has also been developed. This study is meaningful in that it derived a practical plan for the management of commissioned on-board trainees.

Maritime University cadets must be on board ship's after thoroughly completing a Basic Safety Training Course. During their spare semester they must complete basic principle of the course and then, attend to both Advanced Safety Training Course and Tankers Training Course before they graduate. However, all cadets are exposed to risks during their onboard training. It means that most of commercial ships have to train them before boarding and perform duties according to all sorts of check lists based on the ISM. Accordingly, this research will deal with the treatment for toxic chemicals which is not fully covered by shipping firms, vessels and even a Maritime University for cadets. The lack of pre-knowledge about it is considerably hazardous to the cadets who have no onboard experience. As stated above, the majority of the onboard cadets board their ships without previous training on treatment and knowledge for toxic chemicals. As a result, there are some cases that cadets are injured due to the lack of knowledge to treat toxic chemicals and due to carelessness. Furthermore, they end up leaving a ship prematurely. To prevent these incidents from occurring, this paper recommends thorough training before going onboard provided by Maritime University, the systematic database on the safety of the toxic chemicals and the development of the online contents for safety education of toxic chemicals fitted on each ship's types are necessary to avoid risks and accidents onboard. Furthermore, it is suggested that shipping companies should manage the ship according to the safety check list on toxic chemicals and the crew in charge with qualification for the treatment of toxic chemicals should provide a safety education and supervision.

The pilot GOBT program was carried out from November 17th - December 17th 2021 at KIMFT; self-isolation for 10 days, Basic Safety Training(BST) for 5 days and 2 weeks of on-board training(OBT) were conducted during the period. Total 20 cadets from 5 different Countries were participated under the financial support of IMO ITCP and Korean ODA program. The program aims to provide capacity-building courses focusing on on-board training and assisting future maritime officers in meeting the minimum standard of seagoing experience in accordance with the STCW Convention. In the meantime, the program itself can serve as a platform to share best practices of how the training including the curriculum can be organized on specialized training vessels. The questionnaire survey was carried out to evaluate the GOBT program, and the overall average score was 96.4 points which seems that the cadets were very satisfied with the Global On-Board Training program provided by KIMFT in 2021.

The Maritime High School's Two plus One Onboard Training system is introduced to increase amount of graduate students to board on a ship for improvement of Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs' policy. Students with this system study in school for two years and complete practices in ship for one year so that graduate students from this system can get officer license with only interview exam. This program Iud been developed to attract more graduate students to board on ships longer according to the fact that students now are avoiding life on ships. Four years after the system had been introduced, this research aims to find out problems of the system by questionnaire regarding practices on ships to current students from which to introduce methods of leading longer lie on ships of students.

Some major companies representing Korea's ship building actively take part in building Oil & Gas offshore which produces both oil and gas from the ocean. Merchant ships become enlarge and high-powered electric as well as increasing number of Oil & Gas offshore. Thus, maritime university cadets are pushed to participate in onboard training on 440V to 6,660V high voltage ships. Although they have difficulty and danger from onboard training course on high voltage ships, their curriculum is still focusing on the training on low voltage ships. Therefore, this study is to suggest the upcoming education measures based on the questionnaire survey and analysis from the Maritime cadets who had experienced in high voltage ships.

The purpose of this study was to explore the regulations and operational problems of on-board training, and to investigate and analyze the satisfaction level of consignment on-board training among students who completed their training at Korea Maritime & Ocean University. In terms of satisfaction differences by gender, female students generally had a higher relative satisfaction level than male students. The different types of satisfaction in the navigation and engineering categories, the overall practical effect and satisfaction level of the training records shows that the satisfaction level of the trainee is much lower than that of the trainee, so relevant educational institutions and shipping companies need to take measures to improve the satisfaction level of this part. The most important part of the comprehensive company evaluation completed by trainees asked whether they thought the training was equivalent in labor to the employees. Results suggest shipping companies must make a clear distinction between employees and trainees, while establishing relevant internal procedures so that the on-board training process can be carried out in accordance with the purpose of the on-board training consignment.
