Finally, a proper first-aid course for seafarers. No fluff, all business: from CPR to handling a stroke at sea. You feel much more confident after the AI simulations and the module on the ship's medical chest. These are real skills, not just a piece of paper for the commission.

This course is absolutely outstanding! I found the depth of the content incredible—covering everything from minor surgery to psychiatric first aid. The modules on dental care and death at sea were particularly eye-opening, as these are topics you don’t often think about. The videos were engaging, and the AI simulations made the scenarios feel real. The certificate is a great addition to my qualifications. Highly recommend!

Solid!

The action checklists for acute conditions are awesome. I printed them out to keep on hand.

Excellent course, all to the point. I especially liked the section on bleeding control, and the breakdown of the ship's medical chest is really useful for real work. The certificate was sent right after the test. I recommend it.

The MFA course is well-designed and covers all the key topics you need for medical emergencies at sea. Module 9 on drowning was particularly insightful, and the AI features made the learning experience engaging. I would’ve liked a bit more depth on using specific medical equipment, as some parts felt a bit too theoretical. That said, it’s a solid course, and the certificate is a great credential to have.

This course is a game-changer for anyone responsible for medical emergencies at sea! The modules are well-organized, and the video lessons were clear and engaging. I particularly appreciated Module 8 on bleeding control—it gave me practical skills I can use in real emergencies. The AI simulations added a realistic touch. Highly recommend this course to all seafarers!

Absolutely top-quality training! The course covered everything from CPR to handling severe injuries like spinal damage and burns. The section on using the ship’s medical chest was super helpful, and I feel much more confident about being a first responder now. The final test was challenging but fair, and getting the certificate instantly was a nice touch.

Not bad, but it has its downsides. Important topics like heart attacks and strokes are covered, but the section on radio medical advice seemed superficial, without real examples. The checklists are useful, but for experienced sailors, a lot of it will be obvious.

Aug. 3, 2025, 11:42 a.m.

Really solid course with a lot of valuable content. The lessons on patient examination and maritime health procedures were thorough and easy to follow. I used this course to prepare for my officer qualification exam, and it helped me pass with flying colors! My only wish is that there were more interactive simulations for practicing things like suturing or oxygen therapy. Still, it’s a great course for seafarers.
