Government Approvals

Our commitment to excellence in training, an internationally recognized quality management system (DNV) and a strong emphasis on quality instruction has led to approvals from 25 Governments worldwide. No other nautical training organization in the world is as internationally recognized as IYT.

A number of countries offer dual certification alongside IYT certification. For instance, U.S.citizens who complete the IYT Master of Yachts Offshore 200 ton course in the U.S. are also eligible to receive the U.S. Coastguard 200 Ton Masters license providing they have the necessary sea time.

In Australia, several nautical colleges offer both IYT Master of Yachts Offshore certification and Australian Class 5 certification as dual certificates.

In Canada and the U.S., some schools offer both IYT recreational certificates and their national certification side by side.
