Training seminars are offered six times per year in Miami and Seattle. Seminars are limited to cruise ship management staff. For more information about training dates, registration, and the seminars, visit VSP Seminar Training.

Video Training Series

VSP provides a series of training videos available to anyone who would like to view them. The videos focus on public health topics that are important for protection of cruise ship passengers and crew. They are meant to supplement other training efforts.

Material in these videos is based on earlier editions of the VSP Operations Manual and other public health resources. Public health protection principles in the video series are not as up to date as in the seminars.
