Here’s what some of our wonderful students had to say…, emily rickard, iami guest: destination, events & interior management student.
“I LOVED doing the “IAMI Guest: Destination, Events & Interior Management” course, The fact the course covered so much will be so useful throughout my career, and I’ll definitely be delving back into it more than once. I definitely feel more informed, and more confident!
I felt so supported throughout the duration of this course with the 1-1 calls and I never once felt like I couldn’t reach out for support or help if I needed it. I loved being able to watch videos as well as read text and complete quizzes, it’s a really multi-faceted course.
The assignments were also so fun and I really enjoyed doing them. Overall the whole experience was amazing, so much so I’ve just purchased two more courses! Highly recommend!”
Thank you TYS for the Zoom call today; it’s such an enjoyable part of the course. I got full clarification on feedback, could ask questions and gain more insight into leading a department successfully. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who needs that extra push and confidence boost before stepping up or starting a new role.
I also love how the course is always available to you upon completion, so you can also go back for reference if needed. Plus, the TYA team are lovely and thorough in their work; I can trust that I am learning from the best (albeit virtually!).
“I greatly enjoyed the course, I found it full of useful and new information. I loved the mixture of reading, download and video material, it made for an easy and interesting study. Having the quizzes at the end of each module pushed me to remember the information I was writing down and is an effective way to raise my study level.
I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to feel confident starting out behind the bar learning some key skills, and methods and setting you up well to grow as a mixologist!”
“I signed up for the Junior Stew Housekeeping course in order to further my existing housekeeping knowledge to Superyacht standard prior to commencing my first season as a stew and have found it nothing short of amazing so far.
The video modules, PDF printouts of products and methods, and information are very thorough and I’m learning lots. Can’t wait to put it to use.
Thanks for creating the course and I look forward to completing it! 👏🏽🙌🏽”

Essential stewardess courses to distinguish you in the competitive market.
Certain training courses are essential for you to qualify for employment onboard certain types of yacht and superyachts. Additional training, specific to the role of the steward(ess) is beneficial to those who are new to the industry, would like to refine and broaden their skill set, or to those who would like to progress in their career as a yacht steward(ess).
Below is a list of courses you should complete as essential yacht stew/stewardess training in order to meet the general employment requirements for both private and commercial superyachts.
In order for you to legally obtain a job on a commercial superyacht (over 24m) you have to be certified with all four basic safety training modules, which are as follows:

All MLC complaint vessels require staff involved in food handling and catering activities on board to hold a recognised food safety certification. Due to the fact that there are a number of awarding bodies, accepted by different flag states, you are likely to encounter variations in this course. It is important to ensure that a) the course that you choose is MLC compliant and b) accepted by the flag state that you choose to work under. In order to meet the requirements of the majority of flag states, including the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency, it is recommended to pursue an MCA approved version of the course.
We have ensured that the training providers listed for this course on My Crew Kit are approved by or accepted the MCA. You can find out more information about the course and find an in class or online version of the class on the link below:

Proficiency in Designated Security Awareness (PSA) is the minimum requirement, whereas Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (PDSD) is required for crew who are designated security duties on such vessels.

Note you should include on your CV full details of what you have achieved and an outline of what skills you have learnt (for example a brief syllabus). This will help potential employers to understand exactly what training you have received, even if they are not personally familiar with every course.
MCA stands for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. It is the organisation responsible for maritime safety in the UK. This role encompasses setting the standard for training and certification for seafarers, including the minimum requirements for certification of superyacht crew. The MCA is an agency of the Department for Transport of the British Government.
Even if you have completed similar courses, unless they are approved by the MCA they will not be recognised for use in the superyacht industry.
Courses include:
If you have any previous maritime experience, or wish to talk to someone in more detail about which level of certification is right for you, please contact the MCA directly on 023 8032 9231. Or visit the MCA site for further information.
RYA stands for the Royal Yachting Association, which is the UK’s national association for all forms of recreational and competitive boating. RYA’s training schemes for powered and sailing craft provide qualifications for skippers, instructors and water sports professionals worldwide.
The RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate of Competence is gained by taking an exam in either a sailing or motor yacht – your certificate will be endorsed accordingly. There is no formal training course leading up to the exam, but those who have not previously taken RYA courses often find it useful to book themselves in for some informal training prior to taking an exam. You will need to get your Certificate commercially endorsed for it to be valid for working on board superyachts.
The Yachtmaster Ocean exam is an oral and written test of your knowledge of ocean passage making including planning, navigation, worldwide meteorology, crew management, yacht preparation, maintenance and repairs. You will also be questioned on your sights taken at sea during an ocean passage. Again, you will need to get your Certificate commercially endorsed.
IYT (International Yacht Training) is a US-based organisation and its equivalent courses are also recognised by the MCA.
Find more information about RYA training and certification
A Foundation Degree has been developed for the Superyacht sector. Known as the FdSc Operational Yacht Science, it is usually delivered over a period of three years in conjunction with other training or a ‘cadetship’. Some training providers are now offering a full programme of training to provide you with a broad overview of all superyacht operations including deck duties, engineering and hotel services, and a ‘fast-track’ route to Deck Officer OOW certification.
There is often the opportunity to ‘upgrade’ your Foundation Degree to a full degree with further study to achieve a BSc (Hons) Marine Studies (Ocean Yachting), for example.
There are benefits with both the foundation degree route, and the more traditional on-the-job certification route and you should consider these carefully before making your decision. Find out as much information as you can about your chosen route before embarking on it.
Marine and non-marine training providers offer training courses for stewarding and catering skills such as:
Courses also exist covering an overview of all of these types of skills, sometimes including certifications such as STCW Basic Safety Training or RYA qualifications.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Former Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta took Conor Gallagher under his wing and served as the midfielder’s translator in his first training session with Atletico Madrid.
Gallagher found himself stuck in limbo after weeks of back and forth but the La Liga giants finally unveiled their summer signing earlier today , with the England international joining for a fee of around £33million.
The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a five-year contract in the Spanish capital, a move which allowed Joao Felix to head in the opposite direction to Stamford Bridge .
Gallagher had been with Chelsea since the age of eight and made 95 appearances in all competitions for his boyhood club across his two seasons with the first-team.
‘To everyone at Chelsea, thank you for making my dreams come true,’ Gallagher said in a message to fans on Instagram .
‘It’s been an absolute honor every time I put on the shirt, and it was a dream come true to captain the team on many occasions. I loved every moment.
‘These memories will last forever. I appreciate all the love and support from the fans.

‘Hearing the chant of my name at the Bridge is a special feeling, and the banner you displayed meant the world to me.
‘Thank you for everything. I wish the club all the best for the future, and I hope to see you all soon at Stamford Bridge! Conor.’
Atletico Madrid play host to Girona in their second La Liga match of the season this weekend and Gallagher will hope to make his debut in front of his new fans at the Metropolitano Stadium.
De Londres a Madrid 𫶠pic.twitter.com/o0UsZu78Hw — Atlético de Madrid (@Atleti) August 21, 2024
Gallagher was pictured in training with his Atleti team-mates for the first time earlier today, no doubt eager to prove his fitness to Diego Simeone.
And a video shared on Atleti’s official page on X, showing Azpilicueta guiding Gallagher through team drills and exercises, received a warm reaction from Chelsea supporters.
Azpilicueta shared a dressing room with Gallagher in west London and it appears the Spanish defender has taken it upon himself the make Atleti’s new signing feel at home in his new, unfamiliar surroundings.

‘Captain fantastic, Azpi still captaining the Chels,’ @mrroyekpo wrote.
Another fan, @PCross125, tweeted: ‘You have a great player in Azpi…and another one with Conor. Good luck Atleti.’
‘Proper Chels. He is safe with Azpi and good luck you lot got a hell of a player,’ @wokeupbutwhy said.
‘Azpi showing why he’s a Chelsea legend and leader,’ @HdotSingh said.
‘Glad that he has a father figure at Atletico. Dave will help him a lot,’ @Nabinkishor1 tweeted.
At his press conference this afternoon, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said it was ‘very sad’ but sometimes necessary for homegrown players like Gallagher to leave their boyhood club.
‘In this moment, it’s not only for Chelsea; many clubs are selling players from their academies,’ Maresca told reporters when asked for his reaction to Gallagher’s departure.
‘That is very sad because we all love, like I said in America [during pre-season], in Italy we had [Francesco] Totti who played for Roma for 20 years, it was his team. We all love that.
‘But now in this moment, the rules are a bit different and sometimes you need to sell your academy players to have 100 per cent profit.
‘It’s the situation but also the rules are there, so we need to try to respect the rules.’
Asked if Chelsea supporters are likely to understand Gallagher’s exit, Maresca replied: ‘This question is for the fans. I don’t know to be honest.
‘The only thing I can say is that it’s not from today. It’s already been days, weeks that the agreement is there.
‘It’s already been there for days and weeks. It’s nothing new.’

Ideal for short passages and exploring your local waters, make the most of your time afloat with our powerboat courses
Powerboating offers the best of both worlds, the leisurely pace of a gentle cruise and the thrill of zipping across the open water. RYA training will give you the confidence and skills to handle the boat safely and make the most of your time on the water, whatever your pace.
As well as courses for recreational boaters, RYA powerboat certificates are also used by professional open boat skippers who need to prove their competence or require professional qualifications for work.
So whether you use powerboats for leisure, work, or in connection with another activity such as sailing or rescue, we have a course for you. Find out more about our powerboat courses below.
The National Powerboat scheme is comprised of a series of one and two-day practical courses that can be taken either onboard a centre’s boat, or your own. There’s something for all ages and levels of experience.
A one-day introduction to simple boat handling and the use of safety equipment.
A two-day course to get to grips with powerboat handling.
Two days of practical pilotage, passage planning and navigating by day.
Two days of planning and navigating more challenging passages by day and night.
Two days of hands-on recovery and fleet management techniques for dinghies and windsurfers for those operating in a training or racing environment.
This two-day course builds upon Level 2 Powerboat Handling skills, focussing on short-handed operations, passenger safety and comfort. Designed in consultation with the Professional Yachting Association (PYA).
Increase your confidence and get qualified with our navigation and specialist short courses.
A basic introduction to navigation for new skippers, crew or anyone interested in getting out on the water.
Get qualified to use a handheld or fixed marine VHF radio with our course and exam.
From first aid to diesel engine, there are a number of related classroom and online courses you may find useful as you develop your knowledge.
Test your skill, knowledge and experience as a powerboat skipper by taking the RYA/MCA Advanced Powerboat exam.
With more than 100 different titles to choose from, there’s an RYA book, eBook or audiobook for every age, interest and ability. Visit our webshop for course books and a range of supporting titles.
If you want to go powerboating overseas, you’re likely to need an ICC. The Level 2 Powerboat Handling certificate can be used as evidence of your competence.
Powerboating can be great fun for the whole family and there are plenty of opportunities for young people to get involved. Check our course descriptions for minimum age recommendations.
If you need a powerboat qualification for work, you might need a commercial endorsement. Find out more about professional qualifications and what it takes to work on the water.
