Great day at Bristol Harbour festival although extremely disappointed to see so many people with young children on the water without life jackets/buoyancy aids and unattached kill cords.

The first few minutes in a medical emergency can be critical. So this really is great news which will no doubt save many lives.

Come on ....be honest who’s wanted to do this before?

Mixed bag today, some from FRB capsize drill and a few from day 5 Basic safety training week. We do it how it should be done. Well done to all our students this week. High temperatures testing times.

After an amazing effort given the trials of sunny weather and a sparkling quarry yesterday by all who took their Personal Survival Techniques training, we are now gearing up for PSCRB & Fast Rescue Boat updates as well as Powerboat Level 2 courses the rest of this week.

Great effort from everyone attending the PST training today. No dramas getting the life raft righted

Cooling off in the water as part of today's STCW Personal Survival Techniques course. Rather envious?

Exciting and unusual job opportunity for the right person.
The owner of a yacht requests a male personal assistant. This is a land based job in London, and will involve a lot of international travel to America, Caribbean, Asia and throughout Europe.
Requested ex military background, fast tender driving ability, super fit and healthy and good organisational skills.

Great owner to work for and well paid position.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this very difficult time.
Yesterday we had 11 kids that broke into the site and were caught in the lake. We appreciate how inviting the water looks especially during this weather but take note of the linked post. The last thing we want to be doing is body recovery because you don’t take note of all the warning signs around the perimeter fence.

A huge congratulations from all the Team for such a fantastic cause.

Thanks Matt, always great to hear positive feedback.

Just because you have the ticket it does not mean you have the experience or common sense to operate safely at sea.

What a fantastic company and product highly recommended to all persons wanting to train to a high standard in the Maritime industry this far the best organisation offering Maritime training for sure highly motivated professional and knowledgable instructors who teach at all levels of competence

Fantastic thank you

Signed up for the basic STCW 95 course, Monday to Friday. Every day from Monday to Friday I learnt so much and came away each day with a lot more knowledge and how to handle my self in different situations.

From the first day which was first till the last day which was fire fighting(the most exciting part of the course) all of the instructors were very clear in communication and showing you how its done. Eventually you get to put all of the theory into practice in the simulations, fantastic!!! Thanks to John, Tim, Matt and the whole team at southwest maritime academy!!! Coming all the way from barbados it is definitely worth all the travel, i will be back in 5 years for sure!!

Fantastic team and facilities

Really friendly, accommodating and professional. A great team - from the supportive teaching from Jon to Tim, who can make a potentially dull topic interesting. Some advice for anyone booked into the STCW 5 day course, go in with a loud voice, be prepared for plenty of role play instruction and physical work. Thanks Jon and Tim.

People who can teach it because they have done it. Great experience.

Just completed the 5 day PSCRB course, Great course with great staff

Just completed my advanced firefighting course and hands down the most enjoyable, intense, informative 4 days of training ever. These guys know their stuff!!!! Professionally deliver it and make you feel part of the team the whole way through!!!! Deserves more than 5 stars!!!! And all the success that the future holds for south west maritime academy!!!!!!

John and his team is the only place I would take my diving school equipment to be serviced.

The work is always completed in the time I have been told and always to a high standard.

I’ve come across a few training centres of this kind, but hands down SWMT are at the top of their game. Great instructors. Top facilities and most importantly the course content. Thanks chaps.

I attended the Sea Survival course today with two fellow Crew Members from Stuart Line Cruises, based it Exmouth. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed the course and found the instructor (Tim) to be professional, knowledgable, safe and very approachable. The course was fun and interactive and we feel that we have learnt a lot about how to increase the chance of survival at sea, in the event of an emergency or crisis. Thank you very much and we will be sure to recommend the course to our employer. Thanks for a great day!

Great training! Couldn't rate this place highly enough. If you're looking to book there's no need to hesitate you've found the best place! Tim and John were so helpful and had a wealth of experience. Thanks again

Great day today ... thank you guys brill course and great tutors everyone from Pro Steel enjoyed �

Extraordinarily informative and well delivered. I got exactly what was expected, but lots lots more. It was an excellent week.

Thank you!

Completed the PST course at the SW Maritime Academy. Very good knowledge and presented well. Having the quarry to hand makes the course that much more enjoyable. Will go back for all my maritime qaulifications from now on.

Completed my STCW here and can't rate the team high enough, so knowledgeable and great atmosphere. Groups are nice and small so you get the time to learn things properly. Thanks for a great week!

Completed my STCW 95 here end of June!

It's was the most exciting & mind blowing training I've ever had! I definitely missed being there the whole week after!

Massive credit to Tim, John, Matt the instructors, a wealth of experience in every field your learning, The theory was laid out so well I retained so much info......the practical exceeded expectations, you really get involved! Highly recommended, Ive told many already and intend to direct anyone I know here 10/10!

Best place to learn especially if you're a newbie, an oldie or nervous. Courses are informative, strongly put together, exhilarating and you come away with a sound feeling of achievement

An excellent training organisation with brilliant facilitators. Highly recommended!

Amazing teachers and would recommend to anybody will be definitely using these guys again in the future �
