It is important for you to know that STCW95 basic safety training by itself, does not automatically qualify you for a crew position onboard…! It is simply eligibility criteria. The professional yachting industry has become more well-known amongst potential crew and Captains are looking for a high calibre of candidate these days. We recommend that you strengthen the appeal of your CV by including other of our ‘vocational’ courses – for Deckhands and Interior Crew (Stewards & Stewardesses and Chefs).

Most STCW95 courses only deal with Occupational Health & Safety issues for people working at sea but don’t prepare you (professionally) to understand the ‘ins and outs’ of the Superyacht industry. That’s where the “Superyacht STCW95” course is superior! In your 8-days of training you also receive highly valuable information and preparation through the Professional Superyacht Crew Induction component. It’s important for new crew to understand how the Superyacht industry operates, what is expected of crew, how to find work in the Superyacht industry and how it is completely unique and quite different to the local marine industry, land-based hospitality, airlines and cruise ships! *See the course summary below.

More and more crew are giving themselves the edge over the other job-seekers by enrolling in the only AMSA-approved “Superyacht STCW95” course in Australia! You would be wise to give yourself the same competitive advantage!

Australian Superyacht Crew Recruitment & Training also offers multi-course discounts and great value ‘packages’ for Deckhands, Engineers, Stewards and Chefs.
