Where a maritime instructor can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a maritime instructor already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Maritime instructors teach all those occupationally piloting a boat or a ship, such as skippers and ship captains, how to operate their inland water boats or maritime ships according to regulations. They teach their students theory and techniques on how to optimally pilot, steer and navigate, and maintain their specific boat or ship, observe and evaluate the students' practice. They also focus on non-steering related subjects such as customer service (in case of person transportation) and safety measure regulations.

Also known as ship pilot trainer, specialist maritime training instructor, instructor in maritime training, maritime trainer, occupational boating instructor, ship pilot instructor, boating instructor, maritime training instructor.
