What Is Catering Course for General Steward?

The course integrates STCW Basic Safety Training with hospitality modules covering silver service, buffet arrangements, cabin turn-down service, and VIP accommodations for officers/passengers. Graduates earn Indian CDC qualification for positions in saloon, mess rooms, pantries, and cabins on bulk carriers, tankers, cruise liners, and offshore vessels.
