MARITIME SECURITY TRAINING
STCW Main Safety
Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) 95 is the entry-level
credential necessary to begin a fulfilling career on the high seas. This credential is
internationally recognized by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the
United States Coast Guard National Maritime Center. For more information about
STCW 95, please see the most recent US Coast Guard NVIC 08-14.
What makes STCW 95 so important? Work on the high seas is exciting and
rewarding, but the benefits do not come without risk. STCW 95, also known as Basic
Training (formally Basic Safety Training) is the first step in equipping a mariner with
the basic knowledge to work at sea and manage an emergency. The training is
comprised of four separate modules:
Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities
Personal Survival Techniques
First Aid & CPR
Basic Shipboard Firefighting
When taken together, the program of instruction provides the prospective mariner
with their STCW 95 credential.
ISPS / VSO / CSO / PFSO
Our International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) code course provides a
comprehensive look at global maritime security and the U.S. adoption of ISPS code
to develop the Maritime Transportation & Security Act (MTSA). The course combines
four modules, including ISPS code, Vessel/Ship Security Officer, Company Security
Officer, and Port Facility Security Officer. These elements provide the student with
an exceptional working knowledge of international maritime security.
The global maritime industry is an interconnected network and is best studied as a
system. The approach provides the security officer with a better understanding of
his duties and how they fit into the global maritime industry. We also examine how
the ISPS code pertains to maritime operations in the United States and how the U.S.
Coast Guard enforces regulations on domestic and foreign vessels.
This course is intended for those seeking security duties, whether serving onboard a
ship, within their respective company or at a port facility. As of July 1, 2009, all
persons performing VSO duties onboard seagoing vessels must hold a valid
endorsement as Vessel Security Officer. This course is approved by the U.S. Coast
Guard National Maritime Center and is recognized internationally.
