STCW Basic Safety Training (BST)

Just came back after 10 days spent in Antibes doing my STCW and a Deckhand course with Sea Scope and I couldn't be happier, I'm very new to the Yachting industry and I really had no clue on what to do but Sophie and Anastasia were simply amazing, from the very beginning they helped me relax and they were so patient with my many questions or doubts, they went above and beyond to what their duty it's supposed to be, easing up the process for me to get there and they made sure I had the best experience possible while there, you can clearly see that they really love what they do and that they really care about their students.

Special mention to Ged the teacher of the STCW course, he's the best teacher I've ever seen in my life and an extraordinarious human being, his way to teach it's not really like studying but it's more like a journey into the knowledge that you need and the way how he's sharing it with you makes it so interesting that you can't wait to get to know more and more and the journey continues with the many stories he will tell you of his personal experiences of his incredible life while at the same time giving you the opportunity to share stories of your own life, during the days you spend with him he will make you feel always more aware of the seriousness of what he's teaching you allowing you at the same time to grow confidence in what you will need to face till the day of the fire practice where he did his best to be there for everyone, in the end this 5 days are a journey into yourself and thanks to Ged I feel that I didn't just learned knowledge but that I've become a better person, Ged he's simply amazing and the way he teaches you cannot be taught, he's just naturally this way!

I will forever reccomend them and will definitely go back to do more courses with them if I will be able to.

Well run, great tutor. Learned a lot. Met expectations. Strongly recommend

I can easily say this was one of my favourite courses. It was incredibly well-structured and put together with great care and knowledge. The information was offered in a way that was very easy to retain and understand. I feel well-prepared and educated in case of any emergencies, having completed the course. Ged was a key part of this. He always made sure that everyone not only understood the material but also felt confident in their ability and knowledge afterwards. He made the course enjoyable as well. I feel very lucky to have had Ged as an instructor. The course material was well-rounded and in-depth enough to put me at ease with any and all possible dangers I might face in my future in the maritime industry. Thank you again to everyone at Seascope for their help (Anastasia) and especially Ged!

I learnt a lot on the course and now feel much more prepared to deal with the potential dangers of working at sea. Ged was an amazing instructor, very engaging and extremely knowledgeable, as evidenced by all the anecdotal stories he shared. Highly recommend :)

Going into a 5-day training, I thought I would be bored and not absorb much information. I can honestly say there has not been one minute this whole week where I have not been fascinated and engaged by the course. Ged is the best teacher I've had. I wish he taught my university degree! No negativity. Even if I don't get a yacht job or any ship-related work, this course has been worth my time.
