Basic Safety Training  3 Day Course  To Achieve "Re-Validation"

• What is Re-Validation?

        Every 5 years, a mariner is required to show proficiency in the skills related to Basic Training. This can be done through a combination of                        sea time with participation in onboard drills and training combined with a demonstration of practical skills that must be done at a shoreside                  approved training facility. Re-Validation course includes only Personal Survival Technique and Basic Fire Fighting. The other two elements do              not need to be taken.

      

• The USCG will accept sea service (360 Days in the previous 5 years) on a vessel that is required to perform month relevant drills  as eligibility for renewing your STCW Basic Training.  Mariners who don't meet that requirement will need to take a "Re-Fresher" Course or take the full 5 day course.​
