A great day on Monday delivering Elementary First Aid training as part of the STCW maritime training programme on behalf of Fire Aid Academy. 🌊⚓🚑![]()
![]()
It was especially fitting that the training took place on International Day for Women in Maritime — a day recognising and celebrating the contribution women make across the maritime industry worldwide.![]()
![]()
One of the highlights of the day was the learners creating their own emergency scenario for a practical exercise… which escalated into a simulated bus crash onboard a roll-on/roll-off ferry! 🚍⛴️ Safe to say there was no shortage of imagination, teamwork, or enthusiasm.![]()
![]()
What I really enjoy about maritime training is the mix of people and experience in the room. On this course we had learners preparing to go to sea for the very first time alongside experienced captains with over 40 years at sea — and every single person got fully involved and contributed to a fantastic atmosphere throughout the day.![]()
![]()
It’s always appreciated to receive feedback after training, and a couple of comments from the day really stood out to me:![]()
![]()
“Robert is enthusiastic and knowledgeable, creating a fun and effective learning experience.”![]()

“I have enjoyed today, the instructor/teacher was engaging and explained things very well. I always felt involved and interested. The practicals were also good.”![]()

Thank you again to everyone who took part — wishing you all safe voyages and fair seas ahead. ⚓![]()

For me, the things that help keep me grounded are often the simplest… time with family, a little bit of Disney magic, being out in the beautiful New Forest, walking along the seafront, and whenever possible, being at sea. 🌊🌲✨![]()
