Ideally, students attending the course should have completed a minimum of one year underway on vessels over 65 feet in length.  Prerequisite completion of both the STCW – 95 Personal Survival and Elementary First Aid courses is required.  The course is also useful to mariners and others who wish to obtain training in basic survival craft operations.  In most cases, the students for each course will normally have backgrounds that meet or exceed the ideal entry standards stated above.

The course covers the following topics:

• Principles of Survival at Sea
• The SOLAS Convention

• Emergency Situations
• Vessel Evacuation and Abandon Ship Procedures
• Search and Rescue
• Lifesaving Rules and Regulations
• First Aid Review
•  Inflatable Life Rafts
• Rescue Boats
• Practical Launching, Operation and Recovery of a SOLAS Rescue Boat

Examination:

Examinations and assessments are designed to test a students knowledge and comprehension of the tasks, safety and deck general knowledge required of a Lifeboatman Limited/PSC.  The examination is similar in format and content to the examination given at the U.S. Coast Guard Regional Examination Centers (RECs) and is accepted by the U.S. Coast Guard in lieu of their examination.  The Survival Craft practical assessment meets the intent of the U.S. Coast Guard National Maritime Centers Policy Letter 08-01.

There is one written examination consisting of 50 questions that requires a minimum score of 70% and a practical assessment on-board the SOLAS rescue boat that is a pass/fail assessment.
