STCW Security Flag Approvals
We offer a number of different options on which country (Flag State) we can issue your course certificate on behalf of. Different Flag States have different requirements for this training, for example, the Liberia Registry do not require your course assessment to be supervised while the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (UK) and Norwegian Maritime Authority both require your assessment to be supervised under exam conditions. For supervised assessments, you have the option of attending an Approved Test Centre or completing the assessment onboard ship.
STCW Security Duties
Security Awareness training is required to be completed by all seafarers working onboard a ship which is required to comply with the provisions of the ISPS Code. Designated Security Duties training, which incorporates Security Awareness training, is required to be completed by seafarers who are designated to perform security duties onboard including anti-piracy and anti-armed-robbery-related activities. If you are unsure of which certificate you need, we recommend that you contact your employer to find out.
