My STCW certificate is expired, what now?
If you hold a valid Certificate of Competency (CoC) and/or have sufficient sailing experience, either 365 days within the past 5 years or at least 3 months within the past 6 months, you may be eligible to join the refresher course. It is important to note that your original certificate will serve as the reference when issuing the renewed certificate. The new certificate will maintain the original expiration date, with 5 years added to it. Please be aware that certificates expired for more than 5 years are not eligible. Are you not sure if you can participate in the refresher course? Please contact us or call +1 337 451 4685 and we can help you further.
