ENG1 Seafarer Medical Certificate sits alongside the standard STCW safety modules as one of the mandatory medical requirements for professional seafarers and yacht crew. It confirms you meet the fitness standards set by the relevant maritime authority before you can be signed on to a commercial vessel. Check the specific provider's booking page for the current fee and appointment availability.
Where I get mine done: Aquamarine Medicals in Plymouth with Dr Penny, an excellent facility with straightforward online booking. I've also used Drayton Medical Services in Portsmouth, excellent too. See our list of MCA-approved ENG1 examiners →

ENG1 Seafarer Medical Certificate is a medical fitness certification required before you can serve on a commercial yacht or ship. It's issued by an approved medical examiner, not a training provider in the classroom sense.
Any professional seafarer or yacht crew member working on a commercial vessel needs to hold this. It has a fixed validity period, so most crew renew it well before it lapses rather than risk being signed off mid-contract.
The appointment itself is usually a single visit rather than a course. Book directly with an approved examiner near you through the YachtSync directory.
The YachtSync training directory lists approved examiners and providers by location. Search by course type to find one near you or in your next crew hub.
