Stewards are entry level positions with the passenger services department. AMHS marine operations are governed by State, Federal and International maritime regulation, which means that new employees must obtain required certifications before they are eligible to work on an AMHS vessel. While some certifications are vessel or position specific, others are essential to all employees. Employees can continue to build their certifications and credentials over time to advance their maritime career.

Basic certifications are required before a new employee can be dispatched for work, additional certifications and training are required within certain time frames following a job offer and are indicated in the following timeline. Please note that although these courses may be job or career related, they are often at the Mariner's own expense. The descriptions noted below with a (*) are all entry-level requirements for vessel crew members.
