Required STCW Certificates
As a member of a shipboard crew, you will have to obtain certain certificates that relate to the safety and security aboard cruise ships. These certificates are not specific to South Asia Cruise Services Limited or Cordelia Cruises; they are mandated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
You will have to be in possession of the following certificates before you can join the ship:
| 1. | Elementary First Aid A-VI/1-3 | Basic Safety Training (BST) |
| 2. | Fire Prevention & Fire Fighting A-VI/1-2 | Basic Safety Training (BST) |

| 5. | Crowd Management & Passenger Safety A-V/2 | |
| 7. | Security Awareness A-VI/6, Par. 5.1 |
The Basic Safety Training is usually one (1) course that covers topics one (1) to four (4) listed in the above table.
Please contact your agency for assistance with these certificates. They can provide guidance and let you know how to obtain the required certificates. The cost of obtaining any of the above-listed certificates is your own responsibility. The company will not reimburse you for this expense.
