Are IYT licenses recognized by MCA

 Our professional yachting courses are recognized by 25 different Governments worldwide for commercial use including the British Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), and our commitment to standards of excellence, hands on practical training and quality instruction have made IYT the world's number one choice for nautical training.

Do we sail in rainy weather?

We sail rain or shine, in light wind and heavy wind - in just about everything but a gale.
All the yachts we use have been selected for their suitability to sail offshore. We teach you how to make a yacht sail in light winds, and how to reef sail and manoeuver a yacht in heavy winds. You just need to bring your own wet weather gear  or you can buy from us.

How old/young do I have to be?

We will take students from 16 to 100.

Will you teach me on my own boat?

We will train to your skill level, your boat and your goals. Our instructors will teach you how to operate your boat to cater for what you want to learn and what we know you need to learn.

Can I customise a course to my needs?

We do not change the formats of our courses as they are part of the world’s best training scheme and we have criteria that must be met, but we can set up a private lessons if required.

Do you teach the STCW95 qualification?

Yes we teach STCW95 courses.

Do you teach catamaran sailing?

Do you teach in Motoryacht?

Yes, we teach in 10 meter motoryachts with twin engine. However motoryacht and the fuel is extra and cost is shared by the number of students. Coast of motoryacht is 350 per day.

Do I need to do all the courses from beginning to end to get my IYT Master Of The Yacht Offshore ?

No, you can enter at any stage as long as it is suitable to your experience. But if you enter at a level higher than your experience, you may struggle as prior knowledge/mileage is assumed. And it depend to the the licence that you are currently holding.

There is a previous experience necessary section for each IYT certificate.

I Already Have Qualifications - Are They Recognised?

There are many courses and qualifications available but  the majority are not MCA recognised.
"I packed my bags and headed to Florida to find myself a job. When I got here, I discovered that I also needed to go back to studying as Australian nautical certificates below Master 3 were largely unaccepted around the world. I continually heard about a British organisation called the MCA and how you had to be “MCA certified” to get a job." Martin Butler (Skipper 41metre Florida based mega yacht)
