We offer all MCA Master and RYA Yachtmaster courses at our yacht training centres in Antibes, Palma & Viareggio.
This course is not an STCW95 course but has been created by the MCA specifically to address the need under the STCW convention, for certificated officers to be trained in the operation of survival craft.
The STCW "CPSC&RB" can be used in place of this course if desired. As yachts usually do not carry lifeboats this element has been removed from the course.
You will learn: The onboard organisation for emergencies and drills, imaginative onboard training programmes, survival craft types, lifejackets and immersion suits, actions in survival craft distress communications, rescue boats and launching underway, and man-overboard responses. The course includes a practical sea assessment in our training yacht.
Assessment: By written examination, practical test at sea, in class discussion with a short presentation to the rest of the class. (a pass is valid for 3 years)
