Seafarers seeking to update their existing STCW Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting certification.
Updating training is to be undertaken by:
• Seafarers who have six months or more sea service prior to 1 August 1998 and were exempt from basic safety courses; and
• Seafarers who have a certificate of proficiency in fire prevention and firefighting. NB – STCW certificates of proficiency issued under the authority of other administrations will be acceptable.
This course contains some exercises that are physically demanding; any candidate in doubt about their fitness for such a course should consult their doctor prior to attendance.
Candidates will need to bring with them proof of identity (Passport, Seaman’s Discharge Book or other National Identification) and previous FP&FF certificate.
This 1 day practical course takes place at our dedicated Fire Training centre, and includes:
Correct use of portable and mobile fire extinguishers
Correct use of hoses, nozzles and hose equipment
Extinguish different types of fire as member of a fire team.
Test and use Breathing Apparatus and associated equipment.
Overalls and protective clothing will be provided, but it is recommended that you bring suitable lightweight working clothes (i.e. socks, shorts and t-shirts) with you.
