This Two-day Offshore Medical Course is customised to provide us with the basics required for Offshore Cruising. The Course also covers a handover of the Offshore Medical Kit (CAT 1) and how to use it.
Our Offshore Medical course equips you with theoretical knowledge (classroom), practical knowledge (drills) and cover a wide range of emergency scenarios to survive at sea.
This certificate is required by Maritime NZ for 30% of the crew from recreational launches heading offshore. The Offshore Medical Certificate is valid for 5 years accredited by Yachting New Zealand and recognised by Maritime NZ. This is not an NZQA accredited course.
