Certificate of Safety Training (CoST) STCW Revalidation

STCW

Course also known as: STCW revalidation, STCW 95, Basic Sea Safety

Revalidate your AMSA-issued Certificate of Safety Training (CoST) STCW with Australia's leading maritime training provider.

The Certificate of Safety Training (CoST) Revalidation course is designed for holders of an AMSA-issued Certificate of Safety Training who do not hold the qualifying sea service and therefore need to undertake the full STCW short courses in Fire Prevention & Fire Fighting and Personal Survival Techniques in order to demonstrate continued competence.

Qualifying sea service is at least 12 months in total during the preceding 5 years before application, or 3 months in total during the preceding 6 months prior to revalidating. Find out more about AMSA's sea service requirements.
