VSP Seminar Training

This 2.5-day seminar trains cruise ship employees on public health practices in the VSP Operations Manual 2005 [PDF - 1.64 MB]. Fourteen sessions are offered and participants may choose to attend lectures that emphasize in either food or water. The training is being updated to reflect the VSP 2011 Operations Manual.

For a sample of our training courses, see our video series, Health Practices on Cruise Ships: Training for Employees. We apologize, VSP does not offer seminar training to non-cruise ship employees.
