STCW CFBS + EM1 Refresher

The STCW CFBS + EM1 Refresher course is designed for seafarers and professional yachtsmen who need to renew their STCW approved Basic Safety Training Certificate in accordance with the Manila Amendments 2010. This training is essential for anyone seeking employment on board a professional vessel and is specifically tailored for French seafarers, as the STCW CFBS (Certificat de Formation de Base à la Sécurité) is the French equivalent of the international STCW BST. The course ensures that participants remain compliant with the requirements set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the French maritime authorities (DIRM).

Our STCW CFBS + EM1 Refresher training allows participants to update their safety knowledge and practical skills, ensuring they can act effectively in emergency situations at sea. The certification is valid for five years, after which a refresher is mandatory to maintain compliance and continue working safely on board. The course combines theoretical lessons with practical exercises, covering personal survival techniques, fire prevention and firefighting, as well as elementary first aid including telemedical consultation and hygiene practices. This comprehensive approach ensures that all participants are fully prepared to manage emergencies and contribute to a safe working environment on board.

There are no additional prerequisites or medical requirements mentioned for this refresher course beyond holding a valid STCW CFBS certificate. The training is structured to meet the latest regulatory standards and is essential for maintaining certification and employability within the maritime sector.
