STCW Refresher and Revalidation is one of the mandatory or role-specific safety and compliance modules yacht crew need alongside their main deck or engineering certificates. It's currently listed with 32 providers in the YachtSync directory, including Maritime Professional Training (MPT). It's typically a shorter, standalone course rather than part of a longer academic pathway.
I did my own STCW refresher with STCW Training UK at Buckfastleigh in Devon, parking on site, accommodation nearby, and efficient with my time, which is exactly what you want from a refresher. A genuinely useful option if you're based in the South West. See our ranked refresher courses →

STCW Refresher and Revalidation is a mandatory or role-specific safety, security or compliance qualification required for professional seafarers and yacht crew under STCW or flag-state rules.
Which crew need it depends on their role and the vessel's requirements. Some modules are universal (every commercial crew member needs them); others apply only to specific ranks or duties. Check with your employer or provider.
Most of these run over one to a few days. Compare providers in the YachtSync directory for exact durations and formats.
