£ 285.00 each
STCW Dates

The course complies with Merchant Navy Training Board guidelines.  The National Maritime Training Centre is an approved training centre and issues the STCW certificate upon successful completion.

Section A-VI/1 of STCW (paragraph 3) states that ‘Seafarers qualified in accordance with paragraph 2 in basic training shall be required, every five years, to provide evidence of having maintained the required standard of competence, to undertake the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed in column 1 of table A VI/1-2.’

Some of the required updating training may be carried out on board ships, with certain elements that have to be undertaken ashore at an MCA approved training centre.  The safe use of Breathing Apparatus (BA) is a necessary requirement of the shore-based updating training, therefore the self declaration process that has been devised for updating training in general is not applicable in this case.

Entry Requirements

 

Updating training is to be undertaken, in line with the above regulations, by:

  • Seafarers who have six months or more sea service prior to 1 August 1998 and were exempt from basic safety courses;
  • Seafarers who have a certificate of proficiency in fire prevention & fire fighting. NB – certificates of proficiency issued under the authority of other administrations will be acceptable.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

  • Medical fitness to undertake practical exercises
  • Ability to comprehend English
  • Proof of identity

DELEGATES MUST PROVIDE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR CERTIFICATION IN ORDER TO ATTEND THIS COURSE.
