The cost for the full five-day STCW Basic Safety Training (BST) modular course, consisting of the four independent modules, ranges between US$900–$1,000 if taken in the United States. In Europe and Australia, the average cost of STCW Basic Training courses varies anywhere between US$900–$1,880.These figures will also vary depending on the school attended. Most institutions offer each separate STCW module à la carte, so you can take them one at a time if you’d like, rather than the five (or in some cases six) straight days in a row.
