Advanced Sea Survival covers 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. This 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.
The course is assessed in 4 ways: classroom question and answer sessions, short written examination, practical sea assessment in our training yacht, short presentation to the class, researching the information from the publications provided
