Welcome to our new and eagerly awaited online introductory course for entrants into the Superyacht Industry. This four modular online course will provide you with a thorough insight into the industry, how to secure a job, a good understanding about life onboard and what will be expected of you.
Since we launched the Diploma in Superyacht Operations, supported by the PYA, MYBA and the University of Portsmouth, in 2003, it has grown from strength to strength and is recognised throughout the industry. However a number of students contacting us did not have enough experience of the industry and would have struggled with the Diploma, as a result this introductory course has been developed.
This is a step by step online course offering you crucial information required and advice needed to enter the Superyacht Industry.
By enrolling on this Superyacht Introductory course you are making a clear statement about your dedication and motivation to enter into this competitive industry. Having successfully completed this online course it will put you one step ahead of other inexperienced applicants.

Testimonial
I am pleased to inform you that I have successfully completed the above-mentioned course and applied for the certificate. If I may, from a Human Resources point of view I would have liked to have covered a bit more ground on the different employment legislations that may apply for the yacht crew, worldwide. Otherwise I must say that the course content is comprehensive and highly informative. Highly recommendable.
