About: Marine Safety Instructor

Maritime Safety Instructors teach our seafarers and maritime experts how to survive at sea. This could mean you would be instructing on how to launch a lifeboat, a rescue boat or even a liferaft. These are the skills and drills that save lives, so it is important your teaching style is concise and memorable.

The instructors generally specialise in their subject. So you could be instructing on how to rescue persons from the water in a fast rescue boat or even instructing on the first aid skills and required to save a life should someone have an accident on board.
