STCW 95+10 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION

All yacht crew are required to have the International STCW 95 as amended by Manila Ammendments 2010 certificate (STCW 95+10) or the Australian Shipboard Safety Skill Set .

The International standard for the training certification and watch keeping for seafarers 1995 and amended by Manila Ammendments 2010 mandated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has the force of law in 154 signatory countries.

The convention gives the minimum standards of qualifications required by all crew members at various levels depending upon vessel size. All crew involved in any safety or muster must complete the STCW 95+10 training course.

CERTIFICATION YOU WILL ACHIEVE

All successful graduates receive the international STCW95+10 certificate authorized by the Marshall Islands and recognized by the MCA, US Coast Guard, 25 governments, and all major crew placement agencies. PLUS, as a bonus, you will receive a statement of attainment for the shipboard safety skill set and provide first aid which is recognised by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).

STANDARDS OF TRAINING CERTIFICATION AND WATCH KEEPING FOR SEAFARERS (STCW 95+10).

The 1995 STCW Convention amended by the Manila Ammendments 2010 establishes a baseline standard for the training and education of seafarers throughout the world.

STCW 95+10 stipulates the required competencies associated with different tasks, the knowledge and understanding required to perform them, methods for demonstrating competence and criteria for evaluating it. The Convention embodies provision for "hands-on" training and the development of basic skills through use of simulators, laboratory training equipment and other practical training aids.

Although experience at sea remains an important part of a seafarers overall career development, it is no longer be enough to "serve your time."

In 2002, the International STCW 95 convention went into full effect and all seafarers must be trained in compliance with its provisions and carry training certificates. Vessels may be seized and detained for non-compliance. In 2010 the STCW convention was amended, expanding the training requirements to include vessel Security. Existing crew members who do not have the additional Security endorsements must take an update course to maintain the validity of their earlier training. Sign on for the STCW10 Security Update here.

All crew are required to obtain a current medical certificate, including eye sight test to gain employment in the industry. Visit our medical page for further information.

PACKAGE DISCOUNT

A package discount is applicable if booked with Deckhand or Interior Crew courses.

STCW95 certification is a requirement for a crew position on a superyacht but does not, by itself, qualify you for a crew position. You need additional training, certification and experience if you expect a captain to sign you aboard. If you lack these skills and certification, we recommend you sign up for the Superyacht Deckhand or Superyacht Interior Crew course at the same time to be eligible for a special package price.
