PSC Lifeboatman

We have a roller track gravity davit onsite, which allows us to offer frequent classes to fit your schedule. This four-day Proficiency in Survival Craft/Lifeboatman course teaches you the practical and procedural aspects of survival craft. You'll learn how to launch and recover a lifeboat in our hands-on training using our roller track gravity davit.

The best part for you? This is an in-lieu-of-exam course, which means you can take all the USCG exams and assessments with us in a relaxed and familiar setting. Completion of this course satisfies the written and practical requirements for any endorsement as lifeboatman, provided that sea service requirements are met.
