Why This Course Matters

This package is legally required for galley crew, including STCW and Food Hygiene Level 2 certifications—mandatory for anyone working professionally at sea. PDSD training qualifies you to work on ISPS-compliant vessels, often needed for senior chef roles on charter or >500GT yachts.

With these skills, you become a trusted, versatile crew member valued by captains and recruiters.
