This course is designed to provide first time seafarers with the minimum knowledge of emergency response required to safely work aboard a vessel; to determine the hazards associated with the marine environment and their own vessel, and of how to prevent shipboard incidents including fire. To participate in this course you must be 16 years of age or older and may be required to complete a fitness test. All students registering for Marine Emergency Duties (MED) training must complete the Fatigue Management at Sea e-course, as required by Transport Canada. The course is free for Canadian seafarers who have a valid Canadian Document Number (CDN). Proof of course completion must be submitted to NSCC before a MED certificate can be issued.
