STCW95 Basic Safety Training Courses for Sea farers.

Sail in Asia is now running STCW 95 courses in Phuket Thailand. Sail in Asia's STCW 95 courses are aimed at the professional sea farer. We have set up training courses in the main part for Yachts men and women , with an emphasis on delivering quality courses that are fun to participate in and which are taught at a fabulous location at Ao Makham on Phuket Island. Our sea school is located right on the beach at Ao Yon and our practical classes are conducted as near to the sea as is possible. Sea Survival exercises are practiced on yachts, first aid at sea at the local hospital and our fire fighting at the Phuket firestation.

The instructors we have are all fluent English speakers and are top quality instructors with a wealth of marine experience that is evident in the classroom. All students leave with an STCW95 handbook and the STCW 95 certification is USCG anmd MCA approved. You leave us with quality certification that is globally recognised.

Many sailing schools in SE Asia send their clients to us because of our high standards and our very practical but fun courses. To enable us to run regular courses with enough students we offer DISCOUNTS to early bookers. Not only are our courses well priced but they also offer you discounts too! Crews off commercially registered yachts get special discounts too as do groups fromn the Oil Rigs who work in Indonesia and The Gulf of Thailand.   STCW95 is required as part of IYT Coastal Master and Yachtmaster Training. (STCW95 training is required for all Superyacht crew working on commercial vessels 24 metres and over)

IYT Certification is world reknowned and MCA approved. STCW95 courses are required by Sail in Asia as precursors to yacht sail training and or qualification for Coastal Master or Master of Yachts qualifications. It is important that clients wishing to have these qualifications talk to SIA and complete the courses locally or be advised where they can complete them. Sail in Asia is delighted to offer guidance and advice to mariners wishing to update or complete STCW95 training.

STCW95 certification is a requirement for a crew position on a mega-yacht but does not, by itself, qualify you for a crew position. You need additional training, certification and experience if you expect a captain to sign you aboard. If you lack these skills and certification, we recommend you sign up for the International Yacht Crew course or RIB Masterat the same time, you can save 25% on a special package price for both courses .

This International certification standard from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has the force of law in all the 154 signatory countries.The convention gives the minimum standards of qualifications required by all crew members at various levels depending upon vessel size. All crew involved in any safety or muster must complete the STCW95 course.
