AMSEA's next Fishing Vessel Drill Conductor Training (MSIT) will be held in September 23-28, 2019 in Sitka, Alaska. The MSIT is an intensive train-the-trainer course that prepares individuals to effectively teach cold-water survival procedures, use of marine safety equipment, and vessel safety drills. It also prepares one to teach AMSEA's U.S. Coast Guard-accepted Fishing Vessel Drill Conductor class.

Check out the slideshow above for a preview of what's on offer. But, course topics include preparation for emergencies, cold-water near drowning, hypothermia, cold-water survival, survival equipment, procedures & onboard drills, risk assessment, ergonomics, and methods of instruction. Scholarships are available for qualifying commercial fishermen.
