Having been involved with this course since its design in Australia in 2001, we continue to be one of the few Safety and Sea Survival schools who provide full face to face training to allow for interaction, discussion, explanation and development of ideas. We believe this to be invaluable for understanding and learning, and direct development of previous experience and knowledge. Your instructors have extensive long distance offshore sailing and racing experience combined with strong teaching and instructing skills.
The ACE Training Centre is chosen specifically to create the most realistic wet drill training experience possible utilising a specialised pool with multiple environmental simulators including a wave generator, wind, lighting and sound effects. Marine SafetyWorks is contracted as the only school teaching the World Sailing/Australian Sailing Safety and Sea Survival course at this facility.
Your certificate will be valid for five years; make the training count. Your life may depend upon it.
