Amazing experience with both the STCW and GUEST interior training. The biggest plus with Seascope compared to other maritime schools is the amount of hands on training. The instructors want for you to thoroughly understand and master the course objectives and truly want the best for you.
A thoroughly professional and enjoyable experience doing my STCW refresher course with Seascope last week, with enthusiastic and diligent instructors, hence it was mine and the entire crews second time doing our refresher courses with them. Thank you!
I can not recommend Sophie and the team at Seascope highly enough. They went out of their way to accommodate myself last minute and the course was of the highest standard. I will definitely return!
Ged is the best instructor for STCW! He was full of stories and made the topics more interesting and engaging. Very experienced and witty. He makes people want to do well, and is very patient guiding everyone along.

From luxury yachts and small commercial vessels to large cruise liners operating worldwide, the maritime industry offers a lifestyle that combines travel, responsibility, and professional growth.

MCA acknowledges that some uncertainty exists internationally. Depending on company policies or flag-state interpretations, some crew may still be asked to demonstrate awareness or undertake additional training. Official guidance may evolve following the IMO HTW-12 session in February 2026.
