Updated Proficiency in Personal Survival Techniques

UK MCA Accredited Training Centre

Allabroad Limited first became a MCA Accredited Training Centre in 2008 running first the STCW95 Personal Survival Techniques & STCW95 Elementary First Aid, with the STCW95 Fire Prevention & Fire Fighting following in December 2011. We started under the trading name of Gtec Maritime Training; mostly due to the fact that you can not have the word 'Gibraltar' in your business or trading name otherwise it would have been Gibraltar Maritime Training; which is ideal since we are unique in that we are Gibraltar's only MCA Accredited course provider and the only MCA course provider within at least 700km. In 2017 we've decided to reduce confusion and use Allabroad Maritime Training for all our shorebased professional MCA activities, tying in nicely with Allabroad Sailing Academy which is the on the water activities. It's all the same company, building, fabulous instruction, and reception team.
