Booking form Submit enquiry Download this page  

Prior experience required   None
Minimum age : 16 years
Duration of exam : 5 - 7 days

This course is presented in Saldanha or Cape Town over a period of 5 – 7 days starting on a Monday.

Who is it for?

This course is essential for any crew wishing to work on a commercially registered yacht.
No matter what level you enter into the Industry you must have this qualification.

Ability after course

You are not guaranteed work overseas with only a STCW 95 qualification.  Due to the vast amount of qualified people already looking for work, we would highly recommend that you combine the STCW95 with a RYA/MCA approved course – i.e. Day Skipper – Yachtmaster Offshore, RYA Power Boat Level II or Stewardess Training. You will find it difficult to obtain a job in yachting without training relevant to the industry. Essential safety and departmental training for new crew will not only make you a more useful team member when employed but will also make your CV
more attractive when job hunting.

Syllabus

The following topics are included in the training:

  • First Aid at Sea
  • Fire Fighting
  • PSSR

Qualification obtained

STCW 95 Certificates for First Aid, Fire Fighting, PSSR (3 certificates)
