Refresher Training

Book your STCW refresher course to renew your STCW Basic Safety Training certificate before it expires!

Stream Marine Training offers MCA approved STCW refresher courses which are held at our campus next to Glasgow Airport, our boat site in Greenock as well as some courses being offered over webinar. Please see below for detail of all the refresher training taught by our high-quality maritime training instructors.

Under A-V/1 of the STCW 2010 Manila Amendments, any person working on a commercial vessel is required to provide at least certificates of proficiency in basic sea survival and fire prevention every five years. Without the relevant STCW certificates you will be unable to continue to work at sea.

MCA approved STCW Refresher/Revalidation courses:

Please note these are new packages and therefore availability of these courses grouped in one are currently limited. However all STCW courses are bookable individually in consecutive dates.

With the Route 1 option you can re-validate all the on-site STCW 2010 training course in either 2 or 3 days duration. This package option does not include the STCW Update Proficiency in Fast Rescue Boat Update (FRBU) or other refresher courses such as STCW Medical Care on Board Ship Update (MCOBU).

Glasgow Airport Campus (East and West)

STCW Proficiency in Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting Updated (FPFFU) - 1 Day
STCW Proficiency in Personal Survival Techniques Updated (PSTU) - ½ Day
STCW Proficiency in Medical Care On-board Updated (MCOBU) - 3 Days

Greenock Campus (River Clyde)

Webinar

Currently we are offering STCW Proficiency in Advanced Fire Fighting Updated (AFFU) over a live webinar and a classroom course where the refreshers are booked as a package. However, using webinars reduces the amount of time delegates need to spend at our training centre by a full day. The feedback we have received is that it significantly reduces accommodation and travel costs. This blended learning approach gives total flexibility for the trainees who can choose which days they want to visit the site for the practical exercises and when to take the theoretical content using the live webinars.

If you do wish to only revalidate your STCW Proficiency in Advanced Fire Fighting Updated (AFFU) with us in-person, please register your interest here for a classroom based AFFU Route 1 or Route 2.

Please be aware some of our STCW refresher courses may start or end at another of our locations and delegates must find their own mode of transport between Stream House and our boat site in Greenock. You will be emailed joining instructions for every course you book. Please ensure you check them for dates, times and the location of the course.
