STCW Training and Certification - A

Complete List of STCW Courses
STCW Training and Certification Programs for Seafarers in
Accordance with the IMO STCW Convention

STCW Training Courses are the

result of 1978 convention by the
International Maritime organization
(IMO) - a UN body - calling on all
seafaring nations to plan and devise
a set of conventions for the safety,
security, and various other aspects of
maritime trade and transportation
throughout the world. Prior to the
introduction of STCW 1978, all
officer and crew training was fully in
the hands of flag states.

A high quality training and education is required for a

professional mariner due to the nature of his /her work and hence,
STCW was the outcome which was ratified by almost all seafaring nations
for the welfare of the maritime industry, seafarer, and the ecosystem as a
whole. Now, the International Convention on Standards of Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended in
1995 (STCW95 & STCW 2010), sets the standards of competence for
seafarers worldwide.

Drawing on the expertise of the experts in the field, IMO has devised and
formulated several Model Courses for maritime training institutes and
guides the approved training intuitions (by national administration) to
enhance the knowledge pool and capabilities for training the seafarers.
