From enquiry to certified crew
Tell us your crew
Group size, roles, location and the window you can spare. We work around rotations so a vessel is not pulled off the water.
We come to you
Instructors and equipment arrive at your site. Hands-on practice with real gear, not a slideshow and a quiz.
Crew are certified
Your people leave certified and, more importantly, able to act. We track expiry so nobody lapses mid-season.

Answers buyers and search engines look for
Do you train at our site or do we come to you?
We deliver training at your location, which is why every course is priced per session rather than per seat. Group size and course length set where you fall in the price range. Ask for a date.
Why is the price shown as a range?
Each course is a variable booking. The final figure depends on group size and session length, so the shop shows the range and the exact option is chosen on the course page. Prices checked August 5, 2026.
Do mariners need CPR and first aid certification?
Many US Coast Guard credential and endorsement pathways require current first aid and CPR certification. Requirements differ by credential, so confirm yours with the USCG National Maritime Center before booking. Our Consulting team can check it alongside your medical certificates.
What is covered in the OSHA bloodborne pathogens course?
Exposure control, personal protective equipment and post-exposure steps, aligned to the OSHA bloodborne pathogens standard. It is aimed at anyone whose role carries occupational exposure.
How does training connect to the rest of our medical program?
Directly. Training a crew to use equipment they do not carry is wasted, so we align courses with what is in your medicine chest, the controlled substances aboard, and the physician they reach through Discovery Health MD.
Can you train a whole fleet across several vessels?
Yes. We schedule around crew rotations so training does not pull a vessel off the water. Tell us your fleet and season and we will build the calendar.
