Crisis Management & Human Behaviour

This is a one day course which trains candidates in how to manage a major incident at sea. People behave differently when placed under extreme pressure or when extremely frightened.

How would you cope if faced with managing a major fire or other emergency? The psychology of stress and leadership in these circumstances is at the heart of this course. The course may also be of value to personnel in other maritime areas, particularly commercial yachts, shore passenger terminals.

This Crisis Management & Human Behaviour course meets the standard mandatory training requirements for senior officers and key personnel on ships carrying passengers, as specified in the IMO Standards of Training Certification and Watch-keeping (STCW95). These regulations are set out in Regulation V/2 Para 5 applicable to Ro-Ro passenger ships. Similar requirements applicable to other passenger ships, set out in Regulation V/3 Para 5 are also included.
