Overview

This one-day STCW Personal Survival Course provides anyone intending to go to sea with the knowledge and training to enhance their chances of survival in an emergency. This course forms part of the STCW Basic Safety Training Course, which is mandatory for all seafarers working on commercial vessels.

What does the course cover

The course is divided into two sections: The first half of the day is classroom-based learning of the theory of survival and getting to know the different types of equipment onboard.

Topics include:

  • Main types of maritime emergencies
  • Survival equipment used during a maritime emergency
  • Principals of survival during such emergencies
  • How to abandon ship during an emergency
