SUPER YACHT TRAINING AND RECRUITMENT

WHAT IS STCW-95 AND HOW CAN I OBTAIN THIS?
"STANDARD OF TRAINING CERTIFICATION AND WATCH KEEPING SEAFARERS" - This is an international standard arising from the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and has the force of the law in all signatory countries.
The course consists of the following modules:

• Occupational Health and Safety At Sea
• Basic Fire Fighting
• Social Responsibilities
• Senior First Aid
• If this course is undertaken in Australia YOU MUST have an endorsement by AMSA as you will only hold a state ticket, not an international ticket.

When you are researching organisations that conduct the STCW95 courses, please note you need to ensure you are booking into the right courses.
If you complete a MCA STCW95 course in Australia you need to be aware that this course is not recognised by Australian flagged vessels, it is only recognised by foreign flagged vessels that are cruising overseas or cruising around Australian waters.
If you complete an AMSA STCW95 course in Australia, this course will be recognised by both Australian flagged yachts and foreign flagged yachts cruising overseas or cruising Australian waters. You will need to hold a STCW95 AMSA ticket on Australian vessels that are travelling outside Australian waters.
