This varies with the position. All technical crew should have a current certificate of Basic Safety Training (BST) according to the IMO STCW95 standards. For skilled positions, a valid Certificate of Competency is required, along with a valid maritime medical certificate. Some national certificates are not recognized by the flag state of the Africa Mercy, Malta. When accepted for service on board, be sure to bring your original maritime certificates with you.
