Introduction Unknown language, cultural misunderstanding and cultural shock have been

commonly experienced in places where two or more ethnicity groups exist. These

misunderstandings can create chaos and problems amongst the groups if those

differences and are not well-informed and thoroughly explained beforehand, so

for this perspective, Japanese language, custom and culture are taught along with

the STCW-F ’95 compulsory subjects, to train and prepare trainees with essential

knowledge to work safely together as a team with Japanese people, yet, at a

competency level!
