What makes STCW 95 so important? Work on the high seas is exciting and rewarding, but the benefits do not come without risk. STCW 95, also known as Basic Training (formally Basic Safety Training) is the first step in equipping a mariner with the basic knowledge to work at sea and manage an emergency. The training is comprised of four separate modules:
- Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities
- Personal Survival Techniques
- First Aid & CPR
- Basic Shipboard Firefighting
When taken together, the program of instruction provides the prospective mariner with their STCW 95 credential.
