Abstract: "Type-training" has been the main technical skill enhancement program targeted at naval professionals in many small and medium scale naval forces. Even though these programs draw significant amount of resources, periodically, the level of effectiveness of such programs requires more investigation. The objective of this study is to examine the implications of different training attributes on technical skill competencies. This study develops a survey questionnaire to collect data from 150 respondents in active service, who followed the type-training programs. The investigation shows a linear relationship between the training attributes and technical skill competencies supporting the hypotheses proposed for the study.
