The cadetship selection assessment was conducted at EXACT Colleges of Asia on January 28, 2026, involving third-year and graduating cadets from both deck and engine departments. The activity formed part of the institution’s continuing efforts to align academic preparation with industry expectations. Participating cadets underwent a structured evaluation process designed to assess technical competence and psychological readiness. This initiative highlights the importance of maintaining high standards in maritime education and training.
The selection process included computer-based assessments through the CES and APRO platforms, focusing on technical knowledge and psychological aptitude. This was followed by a technical interview to further evaluate professional understanding and practical knowledge. A psychological interview was also conducted to assess behavioral readiness, decision-making, and suitability for future shipboard responsibilities. The procedure ensured consistency, fairness, and transparency throughout the assessment.
The activity emphasized the value of cooperation between educational institutions and the maritime industry. The continued support of EXACT Colleges of Asia remains essential in strengthening maritime education and preparing future seafarers.
