This 1-day Personal Survival Techniques (STCW) course forms part of the mandatory basic safety training for crew. It deals with the actions to be taken by individuals to protect themselves in emergency situations and includes practical training in the use of life jackets and inflatable life rafts.
Exercises are carefully supervised by qualified staff and can be undertaken by non-swimmers.
The training pool used has been specially equipped with a jumping platform, emergency alarms and water spray in order to enhance the realism of the procedures undertaken.
The course is also included in our STCW Basic Safety Training Week.
