It is crucial to implement quality standards systems to achieve and
maintain the educational and training requirements in the maritime field
stipulated by the International Maritime Organization and Standards of
Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Convention and Code. In the study,
the quality criteria for maritime education were determined and examined. For
this purpose, in line with the literature review and expert opinions, 38 subcriteria were determined under five main criteria, and these criteria were
prioritised using the Best Worst Method through the agency of 10 experts. The
results of the study showed that the most fundamental criteria in the quality of
maritime education and training are professional and personal development,
sense of professional ethics, publication and research, and compliance with and
effective use of course hours, respectively. The results of the study have also
enabled educational institutions to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in
terms of quality.
