In 2003 World Sailing introduced a standard basic syllabus for the training courses in order to establish an International recognized qualification. The training requirements form part of the World Sailing Offshore Special Regulations. These course are run and established by World Sailing Member National Authorities (MNAs) and conform to World Sailing minimum standards. The following is a list of courses that are recognized:
A frequently asked question is whether an STCW 95 sea survival training is a permitted alternative. Ultimately what is acceptable is up to the race organizer however World Sailing standard advice is NOT to accept STCW courses (however first aid course are accepted). The reason for this is that the STCW course is a commercial ship qualification and therefore does not contain sailing related items and recreational safety equipment.
