MED B2 (basic firefighting) doesn't exist now, it's been rolled into STCW VI/1, Basic Safety, with MED A1 and two other components, elementary first aid and social and personal responsibility.

The MEDs required for 4th Class are STCW VI/1, with respect to basic safety, STCW VI/2, with respect to survival craft and rescue boats, other than fast rescue boats (the old B1, which doesn't exist either) and STCW VI/3, with respect to advanced firefighting for Officers. For 3rd Class and above, you also need MED D, a Canadian requirement, which has been adopted by the Manilla amendments to STCW. First aid for Officers is Marine Advanced First Aid, now valid for 5 years. For Ratings, it's Marine Basic First Aid. Yes, I know St John Ambulance says 3 years, but TC Marine Safety is driving this bus and Ship Safety Bulletin 03/2009 says, in part:

Validity of the marine first aid training certificates, first aid training courses recognized by a province or territory and marine medical care training certificates:

The Transport Canada (TC) training certificate in marine advanced first aid (31 hours) or the TC training certificate in marine basic first aid (16 hours) completed after December 1st, 2008 and issued in accordance with revision 03 of TP 13008 is to be kept valid for its acceptance as documentary evidence of the proficiency of the person designated to provide first aid on board vessels and to obtain a new certificate of competency or endorsement. These training certificates are valid for a five-year period from the date of issue.



It follows, therefore, if ya gots the ticket, ya gots the MEDs, coz you don't gets the ticket without the MEDs.
