Your School Represents OUTSTANDING Value for Money. The Quality of your facilities, the equipment, the classrooms are excellent. The quality of your Instructors and their ability to constantly reaffirm the key vital facts is outstanding. It wasn’t just easy to pass the exams BUT I actually remember all the key information that might save my life one day.
The final fire simulation was the most realistic and exhilarating excercise I have ever done in yachting whilst being 100% safe. You all operate a warm, friendly and fun environment which made for a very enjoyable learning experience. I will be recommending your course to All Yachtie newbies and not just because it is so much cheaper than every other STCW School in the world.

I had the great opportunity to do my STCW course at the Seahaven Maritime Academy, great teacher and staff, ready to help you with anything you need, I personally had some problems at the beginning of the course and they were ready to help me and thank to them I’ve solved everything without losing any money, they are kind and very helpful. All the Teachers and staff are high qualified and ready to hear you out if have any question or doubt, they also know how to make the lesson fun, I personally have laughed a lot and learned even more!!!
I also wanna say that if you have any problems with any of the practical lessons, the teacher will help you to find in yourself the courage to do it, they will prepare you step by step to give your best and all in a secure environment. ah! also you if come from a foreign country and your english is not perfect the will help you to understand better. I couldn’t be more happy and thankful!

I had such a good experience. I took this course over a month ago and I’m still in shock that I actually completed it. I felt very safe throughout the whole week even though I was terrified (I was not looking forward to the firefighting but was pleasantly surprised). The way that the firefighting and the first aid were taught was done in an engaging way so much so that I still remember what I was taught.
If anyone I know wants to do the STCW I could not recommend seahaven academy enough to them. I also felt as if everyone (both instructors and office personnel) genuinely cared about the students and were not solely interested in churning out STCW certificates. I will always look back fondly on my week at seahaven - thank you very much !

The course was far above my expectations. The friendliness and professionalism of all the staff is noteworthy. Juliette was the perfect instructor to start the course with her years of experience at sea combined with her enthusiasm really put all us ‘newbies’ at ease and she made what could have been “De’Ath by PowerPoint” very interesting.
As a doctor I have both attended and taught first aid but the first aid taught by Chris was without exception the best course I have ever experienced. He has a great personality and teaching manner. The equipment provided eg. CPR monitor and the realism of the scenarios was exceptional, I would happily be treated if I were a casualty by Chris or anyone he has taught.
I was most anxious about the firefighting aspect of the course after horror stories from my crew and witnessing a man who poured fuel over himself and set himself alight in Nigeria when I was a kid. The combination of Tim & Kevin was perfect. The ‘good cop,bad cop’ works well both Tim and Kevin are very good instructors with a great sense humour - not easy with such a serious subject - just enough push outside our comfort zones, totally confidence inspiring. Peter who helped on the second day is fantastic, an instructor in the making? I have come away with a great understanding of fire prevention and if the worst came to the worst firefighting. Sea survival was again very well taught under difficult circumstances due to COVID-19 although I personally enjoyed being in the sea.
I’ve thought hard about improvements but in all honesty I can’t think of anything.
You guys did a great job under difficult circumstances with social distancing, so well done. You are 100% best value for money and I will be returning to do further training in the future.
Many thanks to all of you for a most enjoyable week.
