Course information

In addition to the new guidelines for the STCW 2010 code, it is a requirement for the Fishing Industry and Boat Masters License to undertake this updated training which complies with section A-VI/1-1 of the STCW code.

The intention of this training is to enable students to maximise their chances of survival in the event of abandoning a ship.

This course is a practical session where students will cover the correct donning of a lifejacket & use of an immersion suite, jump from height in to the water, swim while wearing a life jacket, right an inverted liferaft, keep afloat without a life jacket and board a survival craft from the water when wearing a life jacket.

This course is suitable for anyone looking to refresh their Basic Safety Training week, Personal Survival Techniques, or Update Personal Survival Techniques certificate and is one half of the basic refresher requirements. The other course that requires refreshing is the Update Fire Prevention & Fire Fighting course.

Further information regarding update training can be found on the following MCA M Notices: MSN 1865 (Amendment 1), and MIN 535 (Amendment 1).
