STCW Basic Safety Training — The #1 Requirement for UAE Maritime Jobs
STCW Basic Safety Training (BST) is the absolute minimum certification required for any seafarer serving on a commercial vessel. Without a valid STCW certificate, you cannot legally work in UAE maritime — and most employers will reject your application at the screening stage.
This quiz covers the 4 core STCW BST modules: Personal Survival Techniques (PST), Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (FPFF), Elementary First Aid (EFA), and Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities (PSSR). Each question reflects actual exam content and is contextualized to UAE port conditions and Arabian Gulf vessel operations.
STCW BST certificates expire after 5 years and must be renewed through refresher training. In UAE, approved training centers include Xclusive Sea School Dubai, Marine Concept Sea School, and Sharjah Maritime Academy. Course fees range from AED 1,200 to AED 3,500.
Pass mark: 70%. Compare your score against our UAE maritime professional benchmark — and find out which modules you need to strengthen before your renewal.
