About the course

STCW ADVANCED FIREFIGHTING forms part of the training required for Deck and Engineering Officers, wishing to apply for or to revalidate their Certificates of Competency.  It is also required for Crew designated to manage and control fire-fighting operations onboard the vessel at port and at sea.

The course runs over four full days and involves both theoretical and practical fire training.  It is fully approved by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).

In order to qualify for the course, students must be physically fit and hold an STCW Basic Fire Prevention and Fire-fighting certificate.

Our purpose built fire training simulators ensure candidates receive the best possible experience.

TEAM & FACILITIES
Our training team is made up of experienced Firefighters and Marine Engineering professionals. The fires we light are real, and our tri-deck simulator  parallels that of a commercial vessel.  We believe that realistic training is the only way to prepare firefighters for the emergencies that they may be faced with one day.

RECOGNITION
