STCW Basic Safety Course - Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers

“After 2 weeks of tuition by various organisations and instructors, this was by far the best taught.”

 

INTRODUCTION

PHSS offer the 4 training modules from the STCW Basic Safety Training Qualification.  You can book the modules individually or all 5 days together to suit your needs.  The Standard of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) code requires all seafarers to receive familiarisation and basic safety training or instruction in accordance with section A-VI/1. 

 

You will be made aware of safety procedures, the safety equipment available, employment conditions and the working environment on board a merchant vessel.  This is essential information that will keep yourself, your crew members and passengers safe.

 

PHSS is an Approved MCA Training Provider for the PST, EFA and PSSR modules held in Poole, links below. The Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting module is held near Hythe (Southampton) with our training partner. The 5 day course would therefore be at 2 locations. Participants are responsible for booking their own accommodation and transport to the venues. Links are provided for the accommodation at each location. Car sharing may be possible with other participants from Poole to Hythe (Southampton) approx 35 miles following the PSSR module. Let us know if you need assistance getting to the first fire session.

 

Additional optional STCW Training; PSA – Proficiency in Security Awareness module.
