Our expert team of instructors deliver STCW training on basic firefighting, elementary first aid, personal survival techniques, and personal safety and social responsibility. This essential training ensures seafarers can respond appropriately to emergency situations.
We offer a comprehensive range of all-inclusive STCW safety training courses at our Cowes base.
STCW refers to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers. This convention sets out the minimum qualification standards required of captains, officers, and watch personnel on seagoing merchant ships and large yachts. At UKSA we offer the Basic Safety Training plus additional modules that can be completed separately.
Maritime professionals may be required to complete more advanced medical, rescue and firefighting courses for some employment on board vessels. This potentially applies to security officers, masters, mates, engineering officers or other positions depending on the ship.
Our expert team of instructors equip our professional students with the skills and qualifications required to reach the highest levels of career development. We are proud to be one of the world’s top providers of MCA certificates, offering a full range of MCA and STCW qualifications.
