Abstract:

In institutions with a strict hierarchical structure, the knowledge and skills of the personnel must be in accordance with the requirements of the work in order to perform the tasks effectively and competently. In the event that prior formal learning and/or experience does not adequately prepare or qualify personnel for the task in-service training comes into its own. In-service training is defined as a program of professional training or staff development conducted during the course of employment. Many methods and models are utilized in the delivery of in-service programs. Similarly, in-service training in Strict Hierarchical Structures providing law enforcement services is a must for the task to be performed at the expected level. Changes in human resources management, effective use of current technologies and an understanding of the expectations of personnel, the service receivers, requires institutions in this field to update their in-service training models according to the requirements of the era and of stake holders. One of the favorite educational models of recent years, Competency Based Training is a legitimate choice to meet the needs of institutions in a short period and at the desired level. In this study, the Competency Based Training Program model was applied in an institution that takes on a leading role in ensuring the safety and security in the marine area. The results obtained from the implementation of the model considered in this study, together with related suggestions to other institutions, were presented.
