  Please check STCW 2010 for better understanding.
  

  
  
  1. Most re-validation courses now have incorporated new STCW 2010 module hence after mandatory Master (FG) re-validation you do not need to do any STCW upgradation course now !
     
  
  
  2. Trust your Fresh AFF / PSCRB certificate will not have an expiry date ! Refresher courses will become mandatory only after 01 Jan 2017 but to prevent PSC/Vetting inspectors observation, your company may want you to do Refresher AFF and Refresher PSCRB again in Apr/May 2015. This is also recommended to avoid waiting period for these courses which may occur after Dec 2016.
     
  
  
  3. Since you have already done SSO Course you do not need STSDSD Course. STSDSD is required by all ship staff designated with security duties. Since SSO is more extensive course it includes everything of STSDSD Course + lot more for ship security training for SSO.
     
  
  
  4. You need Refresher Medicare, it is MLC 2006 requirement since Aug 2013. MLC 2006 mandates you to refresh medical training (MFA/Medical care) every 5 years. Please note refresher MFA is 3 hr course while Refresher Medicare is 6 hours course. Most colleges are asking you to do Medical care / MFA which is 5-10 times expensive than refresher courses. Also rcommend you to check STSDSD Course vs SSO Course
