Description
Our individual dates for STCW Basic Safety courses are still currently being arranged if you require to book separately.
Under STCW, all new entrants to the maritime industries are required to complete an STCW Basic Safety Training Week before joining a vessel.
It is made up of the following courses,
Personal Survival Techniques (PST)
Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (FPFF)
Personal Safety and Social Responsibility (PSSR)
These courses can be taken individually or can be taken together in this cost saving package.
Learning Objectives
STCW requires all seafarers to receive familiarization and basic safety training or instruction in accordance with section A-VI/1 of the STCW Code. The minimum requirements for familiarization and basic safety training are contained within the Basic Safety Training Week (BSTW) and meet the appropriate standard of competence.
Prerequisites
A Government issued, photographic proof of identity on the day of the course and this should take the form of either a valid Passport or a driving licence or a valid discharge book (not more than 10 years old).
Certification
Successful delegates will be awarded with an MCA approved STCW certifications (EFA, FPFF, PST, PSSR and PSA) after a short exam.
Revalidation
Every 5 years for PST and FPFF elements.
Who is this course for?
Kick-start your sea-going career with our STCW Basic Safety Training Week (BSW)—a five-day, hands-on programme that bundles every mandatory “Table A-VI/1” module into one convenient block: Personal Survival Techniques, Fire Prevention & Fire Fighting, Elementary First Aid, Personal Safety & Social Responsibilities and Proficiency in Security Awareness. Delivered at our MCA-approved campus in Paisley, the course is aimed at new cadets, deck and engine ratings, superyacht crew, hotel & catering staff and offshore contractors—anyone who must hold full STCW certification before signing on.
Across the week you’ll master life-raft abandonment drills, multi-gas fire-ground tactics, casualty care, maritime legislation and security threat recognition, finishing with an SMT photo-certificate that’s recognised by flag-states, port-state control and leading cruise, ferry and offshore operators worldwide. Upcoming intakes run almost every Monday through December 2025, with limited places from 11 August onward at £825 ex-VAT.Stream Marine Training
Why book now?
Failing to present a valid Basic Safety Training portfolio can see you refused boarding, delay vessel schedules and void personal insurance. Completing BSW in one block saves travel costs, locks in compliance for five years and makes your CV stand out to recruiters across the global fleet.
