STCW 95 Basic Safety Training for professional skippers and crew

The Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Code of 1995 sets international standards of training for professional seafarers.

STCW 95 Basic Safety for vessels over 24m

To work professionally on vessels over 24m you must hold STCW 95 Basic Safety Training certificates. The training ensures that you know how to conduct yourself on board, keeping yourself, your fellow crew members and your passengers safe.

STCW 95 Basic Safety Training for vessels of less than 24m

Although there is no legal requirement to hold STCW 95 certificates to crew on vessels of less than 24m, many employers and professional skippers expect their crew members to hold them. Holding STCW 95 certificates is an indication that you are a career-minded professional.
