How To Get An STCW Certificate?

STCW TRAINING COURSE

This course is now compulsory for any person who wants to work out a sea. Many years ago, the cruise company’s allowed training onboard, but now things have changed over the years. It was beneficial because it would cost you nothing as the cruise ship company wouldn’t charge as it was part of the employment. When you signed on the first day, you would go through a series of training and eventually have your STCW 95 completed onboard. Today it must be done before going on board and is compulsory.

STCW stands for ‘Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping’.In 1978 STCW came into force. It’s a standardised training around the world for anyone wanting to work out at sea, whether it is commercial ships or Superyachts. If you are seeking employment on a ferry, commercial ship, superyacht or cruise ship, you are required to have an STCW Basic Safety Training Course Certificate.

Before you can be signed on as crew on any vessel, you’ll need to obtained the STCW 95 Certificate. It is required to work on any commercial vessel at sea (Superyachts, Cruise Ships, Offshore vessels)
