A ton of info, especially on first aid. Barely got through it, but it's useful overall. Good thing i didnt have to go anywhere.

This course is a must for any seafarer! The modules are well-structured, and the content is spot-on for preparing you for emergencies at sea. I found the Personal Survival Techniques module especially useful, with clear instructions on using lifejackets and liferafts. The videos were engaging, and the AI simulations made it feel real. Highly recommend!

Really good course overall, with solid content on survival techniques and first aid. The module on occupational health and safety was very informative, especially about working in enclosed spaces. I would’ve liked a bit more depth in the fire-fighting section, maybe with more examples of real scenarios. The AI features were engaging, and the certificate is a great credential. Definitely a valuable course for seafarers.
July 20, 2025, 11:07 a.m.
The course is decent and covers the required topics, but I found it a bit too basic in some areas, like the fire safety module, which could use more practical exercises or simulations. That said, the price is very affordable at just $19, which makes it accessible for new seafarers or those on a budget. The certificate is a nice touch, but adding more hands-on content would make this course much stronger.
July 24, 2025, 11:11 a.m.
Fantastic training that covers all the essentials! The Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting module was incredibly practical, and I now feel confident using firefighting equipment. The course is easy to follow, and the section on MARPOL and pollution prevention was a great reminder of our environmental responsibilities. The certificate is recognized, and the online format was super convenient. Worth every penny!
Aug. 4, 2025, 7:16 a.m.
An excellent course for new and experienced seafarers alike! The Elementary First Aid module taught me practical skills like CPR and managing burns, which I feel much more prepared to handle now. The videos were clear, and the focus on personal safety and social responsibilities was a nice touch. The final test was fair, and getting the certificate instantly was a bonus. I’d recommend this to anyone starting their maritime career!
Aug. 6, 2025, 11:09 a.m.
The course prepares you well for real-world situations, such as man-overboard. I liked how they explained actions for alarms and at muster stations. The useful checklists can be kept on hand.

This is a well-designed course that covers all the basics you need to know for safety at sea. The Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities module was great for understanding crew dynamics and fatigue management. I felt the video lessons could have been a bit longer to dive deeper into some topics, like using search and rescue equipment. Still, it’s a solid training program, and the certificate looks professional.
Aug. 11, 2025, 8 a.m.
Excellent course. Clear and to the point about lifeboats and life rafts. Immersion suits and hypothermia prevention methods are also well covered. I now feel much more confident handling lifesaving equipment.
