Buying a Course & Logging into It

On some of the courses such as the Ship Security Officer, you are required to have sufficient sea time of twelve (12) months, or an official waiver from the UK DfT MCA to receive the final certificate. Our MCA Accredited (STCW ISPS) Courses also require you to demonstrate a good understanding of the English Language, and this is a requirement of taking one of these courses.

All of our courses are available to purchase through the VIRSEC website located at https://virsec.org. Each of our courses are listed under a Main Category (such as STCW ISPS or Maritime English Tests, etc.) and you may also find the same course in another category if it is relevant to it. To select the course, simply click on the image of the course or the title and you will be directed to the relevant Course Information & Purchasing Page on the website. Alternatively, you can just click on the ‘Add to Cart’ button and it will place the course in the e-Commerce Shopping Cart.
