CHALLENGES

• Placing our female students at sea
• Paucity of cadet beths creates a bottle neck
  effect (unemployment)
• Attracting the right calibre lecturing staff
  (Masters degree Master Unlimited / Chief
  Engineer CoC)
• Non-recognition of CoC by CPUT (SAQA evaluation
  ?)
• Sourcing funding to develop lecturing staff
  abroad to Masters degree level
• Updating the TRANSAS simulator to satisfy the
  revised STCW Manila requirements
• No dedicated, SAMSA accredited, MEWT to
  integrate theoretical practical training
