Frequently asked questions
Does one STCW course make me eligible for every ship?
No. Training is one part of a route that may also require the correct medical, documents, approved program, sea service, employer acceptance and national certification process.
Should a recruiter charge me a placement fee?
The Maritime Labour Convention sets recruitment and placement protections and limited personal-document cost exceptions. Verify the current official rule and national implementation before paying.
Is this available to buy now?
No. The PDF, listing, image, package and source checks are complete, but its live Stripe product and delivery route are not configured yet.
