STCW 2010 increases enrollment at STAR Center; all students will need to register at least two weeks in advance for training, upgrading


Enrollment at STAR Center has increased dramatically as American Maritime Officers members and applicants register to complete U.S. Coast Guard required STCW 2010 training as soon as possible.

The school is currently operating beyond 100 percent capacity and expects to continue doing so until the December 31, 2016 deadline for completion of required STCW 2010 training.

AMO members and applicants are urged to continue making every effort to complete the required training as far ahead of the deadline as possible. However, STAR Center will need all students to register at least two weeks in advance to attend courses, including license upgrading programs and radar recertification training.

The number of students at the school is exceeding the on-site housing capacity and STAR Center is utilizing local hotels to meet the demand. At this time of year in South Florida, STAR Center must make non-refundable reservations for students at local hotels at least two weeks in advance. As a result, STAR Center will not always be able to accept applications for enrollment with less than two weeks of advanced notice.

Enrollment questions or applications should be directed to Student Services at (800) 942-3220 ext. 201 or via .

The STAR Center enrollment application is available online.
