STCW Refresher courses
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2015 8:06 am
Hello all,
It's been a while,
With the STCW requirement for refresher courses in Emergency duties (MED's) coming into force Jan 2017, are there any courses offered in Canada yet?
I just got off the phone with BCIT in North Vancouver (PMTI to those older than the internet) and they say
"We've had some interest, but I don't know if we are offering anything"
With that in mind, would refresher courses taken overseas, STCW approved, be accepted by TC at face value. I work for a UK company and they mostly send me to UK or Singers for training, but that's not Certificate requirement training.
I will be working the phones this morning like a tele-marketer, in search for more info but thought best to ask here as well.
Thanks
