STCW Basic Safety Training

The legal minimum to work on any commercial yacht — five mandatory modules, taught partly at sea.

Duration5 days LevelEntry / new crew TypeCertifying From€1,250

Your first step into yachting

Every crew member working aboard a commercial vessel over 24 metres must hold a valid STCW Basic Safety Training certificate. It is the legal entry requirement — and the first thing every recruiter asks for.

Our course covers the five mandatory modules over five consecutive days. What makes it different: where most schools stay in a classroom and a swimming pool, we take the practical sessions onto a real yacht, at sea. You practise survival and safety drills in the conditions you’ll actually work in.

What’s included

  • All five STCW modules (BST + PSA)
  • Certification recognised worldwide
  • Sea survival practised in open water
  • Fire fighting on our dedicated fire ground
  • Course materials and certificate issuance

Who it’s for

New crew entering the industry, career-changers, and anyone who needs the baseline certification before their first season on the French Riviera.
