STCW online course offered by Rood Boven Groen according to STCW guidelines and approved by the Dutch government.
STCW online course; how do I make the right choice?
Have you ever considered an STCW online course? Online courses are a convenient and cost-effective solution – especially during the global corona pandemic. Choosing an STCW online course can be daunting, especially when there seem to be so many providers. Selecting an STCW-certified training institute is essential. Remember to check under which flag the training has been approved (click here to see the flags that accept Dutch certificates). When investing time and money in a certificate, make sure it is widely accepted. Once you have made a selection based on these criteria, you should then look at the experience the provider has in the STCW online course. At Rood Boven Groen all STCW online courses are developed by expert seafarers for seafarers.

STCW online course; what are the benefits?
STCW online courses have several benefits
- Flexibility: Learning when and where it suits you is a big advantage of an STCW online course. Learning at your own pace and in your environment also increases productivity.
- Accessibility: long travel times and travelling back and forth are no longer an obstacle. You only need a laptop and an internet connection.
- Customisation: not everyone learns at the same pace. An STCW online course gives participants the opportunity to go through the material more quickly or more slowly.
- Time and cost saving: the time gained from an STCW online course can be spent on other things. Moreover, that train ticket or car journey costs money, which now stays in your wallet.
- International: the STCW online course is accessible worldwide.
Refresher STCW online course at Rood Boven Groen
The five-yearly repetition requirement for the STCW online course does not apply to the training courses offered by Rood Boven Groen. Although, there are shipping companies that do expect it from their personnel on board, to stay up to date with the course content and maintain skills. However, this can also be achieved in other ways.
We offer the following courses as online refreshers:
- Passenger Ship Crisis Management and Human Behaviour Refresher
- Passenger Safety, Cargo Safety and Hull Integrity Training Refresher
