What is STCW95 ?

You will find it difficult to obtain a job in yachting unless you have an STCW 95 crew basic training certificate. This course provides training to seafarers in topics such as communication, organisation, group behavior, safety and personal interaction,which influence human relationships aboard ship. It covers the minimum training requirements outlined in the Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers (STCW). Basic training takes place over 5 days and comprises 4 courses. These are: Personal Survival Techniques, Personal Safety and Social Responsibility, Fire Prevention and Firefighting and Elementary First Aid.

Avitys STCW 95 certificate

I have now completed my training and got my certificate. This means that I am now complying with the regulation to join a crew as seafarer. This is also a good point for Avitys, as captains may require contractors to have this certificate before going at sea.
