STCW Basic Training

NPFVOA

STCW Basic Training is composed of four separate courses (Basic Fire Fighting, Medical Emergencies at Sea, Personal Survival Techniques, and Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities. Each course may be taken as a stand-alone course, or a student may sign up for all four courses at once.

Course lengths are:

Basic Fire Fighting: 16-hours

Medical Emergencies at Sea: 8-hours

Personal Survival Techniques: 12-hours

Personal Survival and Social Responsibilities: 4-hours

All courses are STCW and USCG approved and are either entirely taught in a classroom or are split between the classroom and the approved site required to complete practical assessments. In Personal Survival Techniques, students complete in-water assessments in a pool and Basic Fire Fighting students complete practical assessments in a live fire simulator. The practical assessment portions of these courses are hands-on.

At the completion of each course, the student will receive a USCG approved certificate of completion.
