This combined STCW course is aimed at ALL seafaring personnel who are required to updated their STCW training certifications.  If you’re currently serving on board ship and hold a valid STCW certificate, from the beginning 2017 you will have to provide documented evidence proving that you have either completed the training course or have updated your training in the last 5 years.  If any of your STCW certificate dates are older than 5 years as of January 1 2017 it is essential that you refresh your training before the end of 2016.

Even if you had six months or more sea service prior to August 1998 and were exempt from basic safety courses you now also need to take the mandatory updated Proficiency courses.

In order to complete this Updated Proficiency 2 Day Training Package  you must have completed STCW recognised Courses and either produce a copy of the valid certificates  or a valid self-declaration form confirming your on board training requirements have been met.
Bring your own swimwear. Lifejackets can be supplied but we encourage you to bring your own so that you can become familiar with your own equipment.

An up to date ENG 11 Medical Certificate, a  valid Seafarer’s Medical Certificate issued by any administration of an EU member state or a Doctor’s note stating you are considered medically fit to participate in all aspects of the course will be required.

To avoid delays copies of required certifications can be submitted in advance of training dates online from our website  while booking your course.

This combined course allows you to attend all three mandatory STCW courses in only 2 days.  The combined course is of great benefit to both attendees and employers as it eliminates the need to travel to different venues on different dates. Travel time, cost and overall duration is reduced substantially.
