More than just a course, an experience
Every MCA-approved school provides the same certificate, but they don't provide the same experience. Forget battling rush-hour traffic, hunting for mainland parking or commuting to an isolated industrial estate every morning.
At Flying Fish, we have designed the ultimate training week. There is a reason we have over 300 5* reviews - We combine elite, hands-on practical training with a vibrant, socially engaging introduction to the maritime lifestyle.
Location & lifestyle
Easy commute: Catch a direct train to Southampton, hop onto the 25-minute Red Jet fast ferry, and stroll just 4 minutes right to our door. No car required and no parking headaches.
Everything in one place: Both our classrooms and our premium accommodation are located right in the very centre of Cowes. Wake up, grab a coffee, and walk to class in a few minutes.
Dates to fit you: We run highly practical, action-packed courses every single week (Monday to Saturday), so you never have to wait for the right date.
The STCW syllabus
Our highly interactive week covers all 5 mandatory elements of the STCW 2010 code through exciting, real-world simulations:
- Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (FPFF)
- Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities (PSSR)
- Proficiency in Security Awareness (PSA)
- Personal Survival Techniques (PST)
- Elementary First Aid (EFA)
Accommodation
Premium central houses: £310 - Don't just commute home at the end of the day or sit alone in a cheap mainland hotel. Stay in one of our comfortable, centrally located houses, just a short walk from our training centre.
Living with your course mates makes networking an unforgettable experience.
Enjoy morning runs along the promenade, debrief your high-octane firefighting drills over a drink at legendary yachting pubs, and build a lasting professional network.
Targeting the Cruise or Superyacht industry?
