Author(s): Mark I Beattie-Edwards
Year: 2013
Summary
The Nautical Archaeology Society Training Programme is often perceived as being a " fun programme for amateaur divers" but that is "not really for professionals". However over the past 26 years the NAS Training Programme has been utilised by both national and state heritage agencies and also by universities all over the world. The reason being is that the flexible programme allows the teacher to devise a structured course with content that helps build the skills required by the students, whether they be undergraduates, practicing professionals or just interested divers. This paper will present a number of case studies of where the NAS Programme is being used both for capacity building and professional development (as well as being fun).
