STCW '95 Medical First Aid Aboard Ship

AIM: To give Seafarers who are designated to provide Medical First Aid on board ship the required training. In practical terms this is an advanced First Aid Course for leisure and commercial sailors and motor boaters venturing offshore. It is also required on code of practice vessels operating up to 150 NM from a safe haven. Ideal for Commercial Yachtmaster Offshore Skippers as the one day courses only qualify you for up to 60NM from a Safe haven.

This course is popular with blue water sailors, Ocean yachtsmen and those planning on spending substantial time at sea away from the support network of the UK and European authorities.

This certificate is required if you want to go onto the STCW’95 Medical Care On Board Ship Course (often referred to as Ship Captain's Medical). We generally run the two back to back.

DURATION: Three Days 0900 to 1815

PRE REQUISITES:

• RYA First Aid or STCW \\\'95 Elementary First Aid taken within the last three years
• Minimum age 16
• 6 month service time at sea. (Leisure sailors who have not logged the sea time may take the course but will not receive STCW\\\'95 Certification).

COURSE CONTENT: Practical First Aid at Sea, use of category B Medical Supplies and caring for patients who may be with you for some time.

CERTIFICATION: In order to be awarded the STCW ’95 Certificate you must be able to prove six months sea time. Many sailors however take this course for their own peace of mind although they do not meet the sea time requirement. We still issue them a certificate it just excludes the STCW’95 line.
