The game-changing courses are developed by renowned e-learning company, SQLearn.
Piraeus, Greece – SQLearn is pleased to announce that STCW Basic Safety training is now offered exclusively through e-learning – a first in the shipping, logistics, and travel & tourism industries.

Each STCW course is fully compliant with all requirements of Sections A-VI/1-1,2,3,4 of the SCTW Code as amended.
“This pioneering achievement offers a new experience in STCW training, as it allows cruise ship, yacht, and merchant vessel crews to remotely complete STCW training required to be qualified individuals and join vessels, thus saving time and money and not disrupting their careers,” says Antonios Fringas, General Manager of SQLearn. “The training can be completed exclusively online, from home, or even on board, which is ideal considering the ongoing impact of the global pandemic on the accessibility to traditional education resources for seafarers.”
SQLearn’s e-learning library materials are a complete solution of a learning and training system that ensures all trainees will receive the same high level of onboard training and familiarize themselves with the daily operations. The ability to take courses remotely at a convenient place and time is of vital importance in the current working and learning environment.
