We offer all MCA Master and RYA Yachtmaster courses at our yacht training centres in Antibes, Palma & Viareggio.
This 4 day course is one of the most important safety courses for professional seafarers. Bluewater is one of only 2 schools approved to run it outside the UK and the only one in continental Europe.
This course covers the syllabus required by the STCW Code 1995 Table AVI/3. It is a management level course aimed at those holding or aspiring to MCA Certificates of Competency in both deck and engineering specialisations.
You will learn: The course contains much practical fire fighting using different types of extinguishers, hoses and breathing apparatus. Students gain experience in fighting fires in an enclosed space with heat and smoke and of casualty evacuation in a series of escalating exercises designed to build confidence and teamwork. They will also acquire an appreciation of command and control problems.
Any respiratory or cardiac conditions should be drawn to the attention of the instructors. The practical drill can be physically demanding so students should be reasonably fit.
Assessment: Continuous assessment and written examination
