Aims

This model course aims to meet the mandatory minimum standards of competence in Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities in accordance with section A-VI/1 of the STCW Code, table A-VI/1-4

Objective

This course is designed to prepare new recruits for life on a ship at sea where they will experience a vastly different living and working environment compared to that if they were living and working ashore. Working on a ship can be a hazardous occupation for the uninitiated. This course will give new seafarers an insight into the various elements of a ship and working procedures on board so that they adjust to the shipboard environment and are better prepared to cope with any unforeseen circumstances
