Essential training for the professional marine industry, the 5-day
STCW Basic Safety Training package provides all those attending with the
practical skills and knowledge to comply with the mandatory requirements
of the four modules of STCW 95 basic training.
These are:
1. STCW 95 Personal Survival Techniques
Realistic, practical, sea-based training. Have you had the opportunity
to test yourself working in salt water, working with strangers to
organise yourself in a liferaft with plumes of water beating down on
you? Our one-day STCW 95 Personal Survival Training course is run
fortnightly.
Run by professional trainers who have really been there and done that,
our training is a cut above other courses. Here you'll get the
opportunity to jump into cold water, practice survival techniques in the
sea and work with others to learn survival techniques. You will get the
opportunity to test yourself in fully controlled, but more difficult
conditions than those usually experienced in an indoor swimming pool.
Unlike real-life conditions, you'll be wearing dry-suits and thermal
clothing, but we aim for all other parts of the course to be as
realistic as possible.
