Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats is sometimes abbreviated to PSCRB.
This is an STCW qualification for everyone in all departments.
PSCRB covers safety knowledge and teaches you how to take charge of survival craft in an abandon ship situation. The Personal Survival Techniques unit in the basic safety training teaches you how to take care of yourself in an abandon ship situation.
If you are able to find a job on a boat after completing STCW Basic Safety Training, you will start accumulating 'sea going' or 'sea' time. We explain sea time in another blog.
STCW states you must have at least 12 months sea going time to do this course. You will have completed the RFPNW course.
The Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boat is mostly safety training that teaches you how to take charge of a survival craft in an abandon ship situation. PSCRB is also skills and knowledge training because it teaches you how to start motorised survival craft engines and these engines have to be started once per week to ensure they are in working order. Lifeboats have to launched once per month to ensure that the launching equipment (davits) is working.
SSNT does not offer PSCRB training but we still have learning for you on our YouTube channel:
