Whilst delegates will still receive the MCA approved SSO certificate the aim is to give delegates more of an overview of the marsec industry in general with an emphasis on anti piracy.
We have taken the line that we can achieve in the standard 3 days of the SSO course with extra modules and later finishes what some companies do with an extra days anti piracy training (4 days) at extra cost to the delegate plus an extra night’s accommodation costs.
Delegates will come away from the course better prepared to gain employment in the marsec/anti piracy industry.
It’s not just about boots on the bridge and hardening the vessel. We cover the street cred required to gain you that valuable confidence of the Master, crew or the OIM! Like it or not the industry does have Best Management Practice (BMP) and understanding how the Industry operates is critical to the interaction with the client you are protecting.
