SUMMARY:STCW
DESCRIPTION:What this course covers\nThe MCA STCW Basic Safety Training course is a five-day course in Hout Bay that gives you the mandatory safety training every seafarer needs before they can legally work on board a vessel. It’s designed for anyone starting out in yachting or the wider maritime industry\, whether you’re heading for deck\, interior\, engineering or the galley\, with no previous experience or sea time required. \nYou’ll learn sea survival in the pool and open water\, including launching and righting life-rafts\, fight real fires in a live burn facility\, practise first aid and CPR for injuries that happen at sea\, and cover shipboard safety\, emergency procedures and life on board\, with practical assessment after each module. \nOn completion you’ll receive your STCW Basic Safety certificates\, the first thing crew agencies look for.

SUMMARY:Efficient Deckhand (EDH)
DESCRIPTION:What this course covers\nThe Efficient Deckhand (EDH) course is a five-day course in Simon’s Town that teaches the practical seamanship skills a competent deckhand is expected to have\, including ropework\, rigging\, mooring\, anchoring and emergency procedures. It’s designed for working crew with at least six months of sea time who are building towards the MCA Yacht Officer of the Watch 3000gt CoC. \nYou’ll splice rope and wire\, handle heavy mooring lines\, practise helm orders and lookout duties\, and work through safe deck practices and emergency drills\, with written and practical assessments throughout the week. \nOn completion you’ll receive the MCA Efficient Deckhand certificate\, recognised across yachting and commercial shipping\, and since it has to be held for 18 months before your OOW CoC can be issued\, it’s worth booking as soon as you’re eligible.
