SSS Update Course

 

 

The SSS Update Course is intended for those who have previously undertaken the full SSSC* and are regular and extensive offshore sailors.  They will be expected to bring with them to the course examples of current Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) used on vessels they have set to sea on, as well as experiences to share with other attendees. 

 

* The SSSC Certificate must not have expired for over one year to be eligible for the Update Course.

In order to be eligible to attend the SSS Update Course candidates will need to produce:

  • a validated log or complete Yachting Australia Self Declaration Form showing at least 2500 offshore nautical miles* achieved in the previous 5 years an
  • evidence of having held a SSSC Certificate in the past but not exceeding one year from its expiry date

Both of these criteria are required to be satisfied for a candidate to be eligible to enrol in the Update Course rather than repeat the full course. 

Overview of the SSS Update Course

  • The outcomes to be achieved are the same as the full course
  • The SSSC Update course is conducted over a period of 8 hours
  • The SSSC Update Course is conducted as a workshop

  • The Instructor will introduce all topics as per the full course, updating participants as to changes that have (or will) occur affecting them

  • Category 1 races or
  • Category 2 races or
  • 2500 offshore nautical miles not racing or 
  • a combination of the above

     

     

    If you are planning to attend the SSS Update Course please ensure that you are able to provide to your SSS Instructor prior to the course commencing, satisfactory evidence to show you meet the enrolment criteria or you will be unable to attend. 

The logbook is required to be validated by the boat owner or skipper or alternatively you can complete the Yachting Australia Self Declaration Form.
