Shannon Richardson
I did my 5 day STCW Course with Seascope in their Palma de Mallorca location, and I HIGHLY recommend these guys! Alfie and the rest of the team were professional, competent and funny! :) The cost of their course was far lower than other companies in the area, so all around a great place to do it. I look forward to my refresher with them in 5 years!
Leila Jama
I did my STCW Basic Safety Training and the experience exceeded my expectations. The fire fighting module was especially impressive.The instructors were experienced and made sure we felt safe and confident throughout. This is definitely a place worth choosing for your training.
Nathalie Walther
I recently completed my STCW Refresher course with Seascope in Palma and had an excellent experience. The trainers were incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, making the course both highly valuable and genuinely enjoyable. I would highly recommend Seascope to anyone looking to do their STCW training!
Jack Graves
Arrived 15 minutes early for my medical appointment, went into my appointment approx 1hr 40mins after the scheduled time. Asked reception after an hour and just got told the doctor hasn’t been down he’s running behind, not told how far behind he was. Would have been nice to have been informed before arrival so I could arrived a little later. Was roasting hot and I wasn’t even offered water while I was waiting.
Other than the organisation on the day the reception team were helpful with paperwork and very responsive to emails.
Doctor was very thorough and helpful, full ENG 1 and OEUK medical performed not skipping any tests and explaining results along the way.
I will return again but will be phoning before I leave home to check if the doctor is running on time or not!Tyrone O
Absolutely fantastic experience - Alex, Ian and John just to name a few (but everyone was so friendly) that made my week beyond wonderful. Informative and fun but serious when it was required. The best STCW training in the country in my opinion. Will return in 5 years to renew for sure.
Andrew Webber
I did my STCW from 20th to 24th of January and was honestly the best ever. Every single person that works at Seascope Liverpool are so friendly and funny. They all make classes so fun. I found myself constantly laughing as everyone has a great sense of humour. I always looked forward to my next day learning at Seascope. On the Friday (24th) I actually felt a little sad that it was the last day of my course
Andrew Lamprell
Just finished my STCW95 course with Seascope at their palma location. Very professional, great facilities and great people! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get started on their yachting adventure as also they give you advice and help with your CV's! They also offer STCW95 refresher courses! Shout out to Alfie, Mike and Frank! Thanks alot guys!
Andrea Birkeland
Hands to heart this is the best training place I’ve been to. It has such a family vibe and from day one you feel welcome. I really liked the bbq that they threw for us on of the days.
They also really take care of you and help you to succeed in your career. Highly recommend!!finn morris
I just wanted to give a big thanks to Alphie, Mike, Frank and all the crew for making my STCW refresher such a great experience. They were all super knowledgeable, approachable, and really helped make the course easy to follow. I appreciated their patience and the way they made everything clear and practical. Definitely made a big difference in feeling more confident with the material. Thanks again, guys!
Vanessa Grace
I have just completed my STCW training with Seascope.
The week was absolutely fantastic, every member of staff from the tutors to the dinner ladies were incredible. I felt so welcome and in safe hands throughout. The facilities and the training were excellent and maintained to an exceptional standard. These tutors are second to none and experts in their respective fields. Special mentions to Frank and Steve. It’s been an absolute pleasure and highlight of my year.. Amazing work Seascope you should be proud! ⭐️Mary-Anne
I recently completed my STCW refresher course with Seascope, and I'm thoroughly impressed! The instructors expertly balanced information and entertainment, making the experience enjoyable and worthwhile. Their teaching style ensured I stayed engaged and retained valuable knowledge.
Ali Gentilucci
Seascope have been amazing, my friend and I have learnt so much and had the best experience with Alfie and Mike! Would reccomend to anyone interested in completing their STCW !!! Thanks guys:)
Aoife H
Did the STCW course in Palma with Alfie and Mike - we had a great week and learned so much. It was delivered in a very concise and interactive way - couldn’t recommend it more!
Tim Gregory
I needed to refresh my STCW Fire Prevention & Firefighting qualification. I struggled to find a course provider with dates that corresponded to my leave. Luckily, I found Seascape and was able to attend the one day course.
The process of booking and attendance was seamless. The course itself was conducted by first class professional firefighters who between them had years of experience. The atmosphere was excellent and the teaching style was second to none. I enjoyed the banter, the excellent home cooked scouse at lunchtime and the overall experience was very positive.
I would recommend this training facility to anyone needing STCW qualifications.
I special thank you to my instructors, Ian and Steve for taking care of the 'Old guy in the room's.Paul Ferguson
I had a great and very informative couple of days with excellent and informative instructors, Dr John was great and vey encouraging on Thursday, which i really wasn’t looking forward to but i passed with flying colours and had it all explained to me. So today was survival at sea, again i thought this would be tough but it was ok, with the highlight being as real a situation as they could do to an abandon-ship in foul weather.
Both courses well prices and excellent value for money - will definitely use again.
Mine was for my Yachtmaster commercial endorsement, however most of the people there were commercial operators and it was great to meet so many different ‘trades’.
Great people, great time. Thank You !!
PaulMichael McCormick
Absolutely incredible week! What an amazing time we all had! Completing so many modules in the one week and they always keep it fun & interesting! All the instructors we had were amazing, always wanting to help us & ensuring we understood! Couldnt reccomend this place enough! Anybody reading this debating coming here for their stcw course…. get it booked! You’ll love it!
Amy Derksen
Liverpool was not convenient for me to get to, but this company had last-minute availability and the best price of anything I found. And I'm glad I chose them!
Seascope did a fabulous job - very friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent facilities, easy to get to (once you're in Liverpool).
I was doing my STCW refresher for the first time and was very nervous. I'm not on the fire team on my ship so the last time I even touched a BA set was 5 years ago when I did the original course. I was afraid that we would be expected to know everything already but that wasn't the case; everything was reviewed or, when necessary, patiently taught over again. We had a small class size, only three of us, which was nice. The pool facility was excellent, and the abandon ship simulation was as realistic as it could be in an indoor pool.
Thumbs up all around, excellent job! Highly recommend Seascope.Annie Blake
A fantastic training centre. All staff are friendly and highly responsive, the quality of the training was excellent and the facilities were also great. I recommend Seascope and will always aim to use them for any future training.
Derek Tweedie
Great maratime centre. Staff are very friendly and helpful, can't fault thr place.. even provide Scouse for lunch on Wednesdays!
Great facilities and training equipment would come here for my future coursesChristian Greenwood
I’ve been coming to Seascope for my basic & advanced courses for years now. They are professional, informative and brilliant at instructing. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, great at instructing and very approachable. Definitely my go-to training centre. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
S Grg
Pleasant and fun as always. I did my course 5 years ago in this centre, 5 years later still the same, 110% recommended, your nervousness will be thrown out the window, guarantee to have an easy sail through. For sure going to be back here again.

From booking to course delivery everything was made so easy. I’ve even done my ENG1 medical here. Joining instructions were clear and staff were great! I would recommend anyone to do a course or medical at Seascope.
Lee Bray
Had to travel down from Newcastle as AIS don't do the STCW anymore. Can't fault this place at all, easy process to book, excellent communication and information sent to me about the course, also maps, directions, hotels, everything.
On the 2 days I was there the entire staff were amazing, from the guys doing the actual course, to the office staff and the canteen , absolutely lovely, friendly, helpful and very experienced team.
I would highly recommend using SeascopeIsabella Eagle
Fantastic week with Seascope - the instructors were so knowledgeable and yet kept a lighthearted atmosphere throughout each session, which really put me at ease and allowed me to proactively get involved. The practical elements were great fun as well, especially the fire safety training, and I now feel like I have all the skills I need during my cruise! I even made some new friends as well which is always a bonus. Thank you to all the Seascope team!
iheanyi amadi
Infact, So many years of been a seaman, I have been training in different facilities, but i have not seen a facility like seascope Maritime, good people, welcoming and amazing staffs.

I recommend seascope Maritime to anyone out there who wants to go onboard ships that needs STCW or other training.....Thank you seascope Maritime, thank you for impacting so many knowledge on me. I'm most grateful and hoping of coming back soon..
Lisa Cunningham
Seascope, is a fantastic training provider. This has been an excellent training programme provided by them.
Trainers are all 5 star even down to the reception staff and cook. Honestly they go up and beyond for a training provider.
Can’t recommend this company enough…
I personally would like to thank them
All of a fantastic experienceCam Jones
Did the STCW and ENG 1 here. Instructors and doctor were brilliant. Had an awesome week. Lunch was brilliant. Would highly recommend!
Georgia Healey
I had the most amazing time!! I have just completed my STCW and ENG1, so am ready to go and work on yachts! The team were lovely and was completely worth the travel over. I live 3.5 hours from Liverpool but was every minute worth it. I would recommend Seascope to anyone no matter what course for.
Scott Sanders
Seascope Liverpool - What an AMAZING place, can’t say thank you enough to the staff and the course trainers, the loveliest people ever. From day one everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The course modules are delivered in a fun and informative way and constant help and support throughout was given. Honestly can’t recommend this place enough, if you are looking at booking an STCW course make sure you choose this place, don’t be nervous as it’ll be the best week ever.
Thanks to everyone at Seascope for such a great week. Had an absolute blast and learnt some very valuable skills.
Thank you (in a dodgy Birmingham accent)
Scott xSarah Louise
Took my son for his first swimming lesson and I can't recommend this place enough! Amazing staff both on reception and swimming teachers. My son absolutely loved his lesson and can't wait for his next one. The whole place is lovely and clean and very welcoming.
Julie Shaw
The training course was brilliant ( never done anything like this before) very interesting , informative and fun ..The practicals were great experiences the trainers are all brilliant and put you at ease ,ALL the staff at Seascape are all lovely ,friendly and helpful. Thank you all so much for everything
Gary Savage
Superb experience. Great place, and great course. You learn and gain the qualifications needed to go and work at sea but also important and essential life skills like first aid. The course is split into theory and practical sessions. You get all the information and knowledge required to understand a role at sea. Then you have practical sessions where the theory is put into practice. The staff there are very patient with you regardless of your past experience and can't do enough for you. I'd like to give a special mention to Frank and Alfie who where my tutors who where very knowledgeable and passed on their experience and made the course enjoyable and easy to understand. Also to Phil and all the other firefighters, who made the fire fighting practical a safe and amazing experience. Also a thank you to Alex and all the other office staff, who couldn't do enough for you, and the Kitchen Ladies who keep you fed, with lovely food, and hydrated and the lads who make sure you have the correct PPE for the firefighting course to keep you safe. In all I can genuinely say it's the best course I've ever done. Great place with really nice, genuine People. Just wish I'd done it sooner. Would highly recommend.
Shirlyn Dupigny
For all your Cruise ship needs, advice, medicals and certification check them out. All the trainers are very experienced, patient and help you to understand and grasp the courses so you have a one hundred success rate. I had a wonderful and very enjoyable experience there and I would recommend there to anybody and I surely will return for any courses I want done.
Mark Groves
Highly recommend.
Friendly staff, excellent teaching standards and good fun along the way.
I will be booking all my future courses with this company.Abbie Freel
Completed my STCW course here and what an amazing place and experience! Every single member of staff from the trainers to the kitchen staff are all FANTASTIC!! They go above and beyond and nothing is to much bother, the course is ran really well with a good mix of theory and practical and the knowledge of the trainers is second to none. Thank you all and hope to see you all again soon, Abbie :) x
jake martin
I've just done the PST course.
The folks were sound, the info was to the point but not rushed and and its clear they take care of their facilities. This is my 3rd time doing the PST course after using other providers on the south and east coast, they dont come close to Seascope's cleanliness and approachability. I'll be back again when its time to renew! Cheers guys!Tony Davies
Kids have been doing swimming lessons for about 2 years and they both love it. The pool is as basic as they come but this is just what the kids need to keep focused. The staff are amazing with the kids and the pool is normally filled with laughter.
Fully recommend the place to any parent wanting to get their kids swimming lessons with people who actually care about what they do.James Mawdsley

I attended the STCW course on Monday 15th February 2012.
From arriving on the Sunday the level of service was second to none. The hospitality and care they provided was amazing from the moment I arrived at the accommodation.
The course itself was very well organised and informative and the trainers were very welcoming supportive and helpful. The whole experience was incredible.
I would not hesitate to reccomend this facility and as and when needed will continue to attend relevant courses.Jake Holroyd
Great time with Alfie and everyone at seascope. Training was made fun and engaging. All communications leading up to the course was excellent, team were nothing but helpful. Highly recommend to anyone looking to work away at sea. 10/10!

Janeale Jawando
The new location for Seascope is very easy to find when you come off the motorway and there's always parking available. Travelodge is a 5-7 minute drive from Seascope so very handy.
Everyone at Seascope is amazing, they accommodate you & make you feel so welcome. They go above & beyond for all your needs, it was lovely & refreshing to meet such beautiful individuals. Thank you everyone at Seascope!! I'll be back in under 5 years for my refresher course.Robert Pritchard
Great lessons learnt at this establishment the best courses I have ever been on. The instructors (owner of the business)are excellent and very patient.
I learnt so much it was just unfortunate for me that I ended up on a very unprofessional cruise liner NCL (Sun) which I was not expecting. Highly recommended company.....Narcisa Rusu
Lovely people

The Dolby Hotel is just across the road and the nearest hotel. Basic but very clean and friendly. Mention you are doing a course at Seascope and the price is £36 per night as of Jan 2018. I did the STCW refresher one and a half day course. Very good. I would recommend.
Kevin Hunt
The best way to get to SeaScope Maritime training is to get yourselves to the junction of Jordan Street and Flint Street. Go through the gates of the selfstore car park. Continue to the bottom of the car park you will see a fire escape staircase, with a Seescope sign on it. Go along the path past the fire escape and enter the main building you enter the main building through the double doors, Seascope is on the top floor. (See photos attached.)
