Continuing Education
CAPCA continues to identify our membership’s needs and to provide educational programs to meet those needs. Programs and services include credit and noncredit courses. Presently the USCG credited license renewal course is being offered at different times through out the year and a host of other related courses.


Emergency Management at Sea
CAPCA is sponsoring an all day seminar addressing many types of emergencies and common problems captains might encounter. The problems and solutions will be presented through case histories involving 24 to 45 ft. vessels. The course is designed as an interactive hands-on training seminar. Copies of materials will be made available to the attendees. Some topics to be addressed include: holing, loss propulsion, loss of steering, stuffing box failure, man overboard, groundings, thru-hull failure and losing a mast.

Medical Emergencies at Sea
This course is designed to teach the recognition and management of medical emergencies off shore where timely communications and rescue are limited or not possible. The captain is responsible for the safety and comfort of his or her crew. Off soundings, he/she is also the chief medical officer. Come and learn how a captain with limited medical expertise can handle medical emergencies reasonably and logically, minimizing loss of life and limb.
