About the Course

STCW 2010 Code calls for crew to follow approved training in both crisis management and human behaviour, with the training focused on applied psychology for competent assessment of both passenger and crew reactions. To this end, Crowd Management training is required for all personnel designated to assist passengers in an emergency which includes, but is not limited to:

• Assessing the situation and providing an effective response.
• Leading and directing others.
• Identifying signs and symptoms of excessive personal stress, and the stress response to others.
• Understanding that stress can affect performance and the ability to act.
• Being aware of the reaction patterns of passengers and other personnel in emergencies recognising specific behaviours of passengers and other personnel.

Aims of the Course

This course is STCW Compliant and adheres to the MNTB's Knowledge, Understanding and Proficiency (KUP) in the use of all techniques, information and equipment supplied to deal with an emergency, including familiarisation with all safety aspects of the ship and the ability to effectively communicate with passengers and fully prepare them for an emergency. This course has the following crew-training aims:

• Control a crowd in an emergency situation on board.
• Locate essential safety and emergency equipment on board.
• Communicate effectively with passengers during an emergency.
• Demonstrate the use of personal life-saving appliances.
• Comply with the ship's safety and emergency procedures.

Target Audience

This course covers the minimum standard of competence for: Masters, chief mates, chief engineers, second engineer officers and any other person assigned immediate responsibility for embarking and disembarking passengers, for loading, discharging or securing cargo, or for closing hull openings and any other person having responsibility for the safety of passengers in emergency situations on ro-ro and non-ro-ro passenger ships.

Course Duration

The course lasts for approximately 5 hours depending on the learner’s abilities and reading speed. However, you can enter and exit this course as often as you require but you must complete the final assessment in one sitting as it will reset if you exit during an assessment phase. Please note that this course covers the theory part only of the full training, and any physical drills must be conducted when joining your vessel under the supervision of the relevant crew and / or staff.
