AIMS This model course aims to meet the mandatory minimum requirements for seafarers for familiarization, basic safety training and instruction in accordance with Section A-VI/1 of the STCW Code.
 
OBJECTIVES Due to the vastly different environment on a ship as compared to ashore, this course is designed to prepare new recruits for a life at sea.

A trainee successfully completing this course will be able to:

  • Comply with emergency procedures
  • Take precautions to prevent pollution of the marine environment
  • Observe safe working practices
  • Understand orders and be understood in relation to shipboard duties
  • Contribute to effective human relationship on board ship
