Basic Training (STCW) Refresher

The Basic Training (STCW) refresher is a two-day refresher training course designed for employees who hold an STCW Basic Training certificate that is about to expire. Everyone who works or wants to work on board a seagoing vessel must be in possession of a Basic Training certificate. During this training seafarers learn the basic safety skills they need on board a seagoing ship. The objective of this course is to provide appropriate recurrent training or instruction to survive at sea in the event of ship abandonment as set out in STCW Code Table A-VI/1-4.

This course is certified by the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) under institute code NL007.
