If you hold a South African STCW certificate, we have some very good news for you.
Since July 2022, SAMSA are no longer issuing STCW certificates with expiry dates.
Please note that you will still need to refresh certain parts of the STCW after 5 years, as is standard for all yacht crew, but no longer the full certificate.
If your certificate was issued before this date, you can contact SAMSA for a reissue.
For more information, have a look at SAMSA MIN 08-22.
WHICH PARTS DO I NEED TO REFRESH NOW?
To clarify which parts of your STCW certificate need to be refreshed, please visit the refreshers course page, which also provides all upcoming dates, locations and prices.
We always recommend you book in advance, these courses tend to fill quickly.
If you have any questions about this you can contact our friendly training team who will be happy to help you.
