Security Awareness — Asynchronous Course

About this course

This course covers the security awareness knowledge required of seafarers who don't hold a designated security role aboard ship. It's built around the requirements of the ISPS Code and section A-VI/6-1 of the STCW Code, and prepares you to recognize and respond appropriately to security threats before you ever set foot on deck.

What you'll learn

• Understand the different ship security levels and what changes at each one
• Follow emergency procedures and contingency plans aboard ship
• Recognize weapons, dangerous substances, and devices
• Identify behavior patterns that may signal a security threat
• Recognize common techniques used to get around security measures

How it works

Work through the material at your own pace on desktop, tablet, or phone. There's no fixed schedule — pick up where you left off whenever it suits you, then complete a short assessment to earn your certificate.
