​
A one-day course for anyone going to sea, providing an understanding of how to use the safety equipment on board your boat.
​
A genuine lifesaver!
​
Boating is one of the safest leisure sporting activities, and 99.9% of those afloat will never use their liferaft. However, if you are part of the unlucky 0.1% your chances of survival will be greatly increased if you understand how to use the equipment and how to help yourself.
​
It is a well-proven fact that, in the event of an emergency at sea, people with training are more likely to survive.
​
This course is taught with some classroom input, but an important part of the course is a practical session in a swimming pool. Experience first hand the problems of entering an uncooperative liferaft and assisting others while fully kitted out in wet weather gear and a lifejacket.
​
We will supply a lifejacket and foul-weather gear, however feel free to use your own equipment to see how it works.
​
Course topics include:
-
Liferafts and the equipment they contain
-
Survival Techniques
-
Lifejacket types and designs
-
Medical aspects of Sea Survival
-
Search and Rescue Techniques

All courses advertised on this page are run by us- Essex Marine Training Ltd (unless you have specifically arranged tuition with us for another location).
​
On certain occasions, we may link up with another local Recognised Training Centre when offering this course. This is usually when numbers dont quite make a course viable. Instead of cancelling it and inconveniencing you- we will combine forces with our friends.
You will be made fully aware should any training be carried out by another RTC, and your booking will still be administered through us.
