STCW Update Package (UPST + UFFP)

Under the new STCW Convention and Code, updated proficiency training will be required every 5 years.

Our update courses are delivered to all Seafarers and Security Personnel who hold a Fire Fighting and Personal Survival Techniques certificate.

Fire Fighting Update

This is a practical course using our purpose built facility. It involves the correct use of breathing apparatus for search & rescue operations, utilizing hoses, nozzles and extinguishers. Delegates will be able to maintain the required standard of competence in Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting.

Sea Survival Update

In addition to 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-V/1 of the STCW code.

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