Please refer to the individual course description for the exact approval and certification status.

Is this course STCW or flag State approved?
Where a course carries STCW, Panama, Liberia, Cyprus, or another official approval, this is specifically stated on the product page. Courses that do not display an approval are offered as professional training or continuing education and issue a Marine Pro Academy Certificate of Completion.
