Basic Training Revalidation - USCG/STCW '10

This one-day course is comprised of two USCG Basic Training elements.

The course will provide a means for a mariner to revalidate their Basic Training endorsement. It is designed for mariners that have met the requirements for initial competency in Basic Training and are actively serving on seagoing ships. This will be considered as having demonstrated continuing competence for some of the Basic Training components provided they have completed at least 360 days of seagoing service within the past five years.

Some of the components required for Basic Training revalidation cannot be performed safely onboard a ship; therefore, shore-side assessments for the following components must be successfully demonstrated in Coast Guard approved training.

Upon completion, the certificate is valid for five years.
