Mandatory refresher every five years
On the 1st January 2017, one of the most significant amendments to the STCW convention, the Manila Amendments (STCW 2010) came into force. This was the requirement for all seafarers to update some elements of the mandatory STCW safety training.
The ‘Update’ generally includes Fire Prevention & Fire Fighting and Personal Survival Techniques, however, if you need to refresh any of the other modules please do contact us.
TWO DAY COURSE
DATES COMING SOON
There are two modules to our STCW Update course, covered over two days:
Module 1: Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting
This is a practical course to maintain the required standard of competence in Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting:
Module 2: Personal Survival Techniques Update
This is also a practical course to maintain proficiency in the following procedures:
Please ensure you bring copies of your previous STCW Certificates for us to allow the updates.
Although it is not part of the standard update, we do recommend keeping your First Aid up to date regularly too. Updating your basic STCW does not automatically mean your First Aid is updated. A valid First Aid certificate is also a requirement for students who would like to take a Yachtmaster exam.
Please contact the Nautical team with your dates and itinerary.
*Dates and timings may be subject to change at our discretion. We can arrange the dates to suit your schedule. We require a minimum of four students to run this course.
Course dates to be announced soon, please contact us to be put on a reservation list.

The PSSR virtual course was very efficient and the coffee at my place tastes better! The course was straight to the point, which I like. The instructor was fantastic! He knows what he’s teaching. Lots of experience. Great people skills.
