Role of the Designated Shipboard Training Officer (Updated)

Hello

I am a recently qualified British Deck Officer, currently carrying out a dissertation on the role of the Designated Shipboard Training Officer (DSTO). I am interested in the views from all nationalities regarding the role of the Designated Shipboard Training Officers (DSTO's) (Officers - Captain / Chief Engineer), even if you don't know what a DSTO is / does!  I am interested in the views from ALL nationalities, particularly if you have undertaken the role of the DSTO for British cadets, or, your company is known to take on British cadets.

Please could you spare 2 minutes to fill out a completely anonymous, online questionnaire. (It is very quick, mainly yes/no questions), the results of which should help improve the training of UK deck cadets.

This link explains my project on more detail. I would REALLY appreciate your input. Share to as many people as you can, I'm hoping the results will benefit everyone involved!

Many thanks,

Ewan Thomson

  Hello
  
  Thanks for filling out. The point is that there is no training at the moment. Having a Certificate of Competency means your are deemed competent to take on the role of DSTO and be responsible for the cadets on board training.
  
  This study aims to find out the views of Officers who may be asked to take on the role of DSTO and whether mandatory training would be beneficial. In addition, it aims to discuss the idea of financial reward for those Officers who choose to partake in DSTO training (which is currently not available).
  
  If you could share this survey with friends and colleagues who are also Officers / Captains / Engineers that would be fantastic as I require as many responses as possible to gain a picture of the current situation.
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Ewan
