Safe on board — when it matters most

Recognized STCW courses for employees in maritime shipping.

Every role on board counts. Seafarers are responsible for people, valuable assets, and the environment. In an emergency, everyone needs to know what to do — quickly and safely.

Our training courses prepare you specifically for that. You learn to prevent emergency situations and to handle crises with confidence. In doing so you train more than safety procedures: you strengthen cooperation on board and, where necessary, your competence in leading the crew.

Your advantage: All courses are recognized by BG Verkehr and the BSH. They meet the current requirements of the STCW Convention of 1978 as amended, including the 2010 Manila Amendments.

Certificates that are recognized

Our courses are recognized by BG Verkehr and BSH and meet the international STCW requirements.

Act safely in an emergency

You practice procedures until they work even under pressure.

Strong as a team

You learn to communicate clearly on board and to lead people during crises.
