This is another special episode as we have a guest - Capt Savio Coutinho who joins Dennis and Mark to talk about Competency Based Training. Capt Savio has been involved in Maritime education and training for close to 15 years. Prior to that, he was sailing on commercial ships fr 14 years including  2 years in command. And yes folks, he has sailed the Straits of Aden (near Somalia). He has completed an MSc in Maritime Studies (NTU) and an MSc in Education (Uni of Melbourne). 

When he is not over-achieving, Savio enjoys running in his spare time. 

In this episode we talk about the issues surrounding competency based training, why does it suffer from a bad rep, the challenges surrounding competency based education and also what are some things one can do if you are interested in starting competency based education.
