In order to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and to protect the health and safety of our trainees and staff, AMC Search (AMCS) is operating a COVID-Safe campus aligned with the protocols and procedures established by the University of Tasmania. This includes automatic screening for on-campus trainees, enhanced hygiene and social distancing controls.
Strict Tasmanian border controls will impact your training if you are planning on travelling to train with AMC Search from interstate. For up-to-date information about Tasmania's border controls please visit the Tasmanian Government.
Due to the pandemic AMSA have approved the temporary postponement of maritime training and are using the provision contained within Marine Order 70 section 15 to extend seafarer certificates for up to six months. AMSA will do this if satisfied that the person does not meet revalidation requirements due to circumstances beyond their control due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please visit the AMSA website for instructions on how to apply for an extension.
