Overview
Our two and a half day fire course gives you the knowledge and skills needed to use fire fighting equipment to reduce a fire to a safe and controlled state. You learn how fires at sea are caused and the precautions needed to minimise the risk to life.
This is part of the mandatory STCW Basic Safety Training certificates required to work on commercial vessels.
Our STCW course takes place in Cowes, on the Isle of Wight. If you choose our accommodation option, you will stay in one of our crew houses in Cowes, comfortable and centrally located, only a 2-minute walk to the town and our training centre.
