STCW Basic Safety Training
The Starting Point of Your Maritime Career - A Timely Refresher for Experienced Mariners
Basic Safety Training, or BST is the starting point for persons seeking employement in the maritime industry. This is the credential the U.S. Coast Guard requires prior to issuing a Merchant Mariner's Document.
Fremont Maritime's Basic Safety Training series is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard as meeting the requirements of Table A-VI/1 of the STCW Code. Our course is also recognized by many other nations for mariners serving on vessels flying their flags.
Four-part Basic Safety Training Series
There are four classes which comprise "Basic Safety Training."
- 8-Hour Elementary First Aid
- 12-Hour Personal Survival
- 4-Hour Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities
- 16-Hour Basic Firefighting
These courses are typically run once per month over the course of a Monday - Friday week. Students may attend any of the classes independently, but most take all four together. Read a Fact Sheet on this class series.
