FIRST AID & CPR with AED (STCW)
This 8-Hour First Aid & CPR with AED class is designed
for all mariners both recreational and professional. The class
is approved by the US Coast Guard to satisfy the requirements for
mariners under the International Convention on the Standards of
Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) and satisfies the
requirements for a Coast Guard Captain’s license. While, much of
the information and training is the same as what you would receive
in other land-based First Aid and CPR classes, there is additional
information and emphasis on issues pertinent to professional
mariners and recreational boaters. Circumstances involving waterborne
accidents require specific training that may not be addressed in
other First Aid & CPR classes.
Students will also be trained in the use of Automated External
Defibrillators (AED) like the ones you may have seen in airports.
AED’s are essential lifesaving equipment for victims of life
threatening cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation
or tachycardia. In situations where emergency medical care will
be delayed such as aboard a vessel, AED’s can mean the difference
between survival and death.
Upon successful completion of this class, students will receive
an STCW First Aid & CPR certificate. This class is accepted by
American Sailing Association & U.S. Sailing for certification in First Aid & CPR.
*Annapolis School of Seamanship is not affiliated with the
American Red Cross and this class does NOT offer a Red Cross certification.
