M.C.A. Approves I.Y.T. "Master of Yachts 200 Tons" Certificates.

 

On June 26th, the M.C.A. approved IYT to change the name of its “Professional Yacht Training Certificates”.
Beginning July 1, 2006:

• the IYT Yachtmaster Coastal, will be known as “Master of Yachts 200 Tons” (Coastal)
• the IYT Yachtmaster Offshore will be known as “Master of Yachts 200 Tons” (Offshore)
• the IYT Yachtmaster Ocean will be known as “Master of Yachts 200 Tons” (Ocean)

The Master of Yachts courses will continue to require STCW Basic Training. There will be no changes with regard to sea time, standards or content. The MCA will accept these certificates for use on private and commercially registered yachts up to 200 tons.

In keeping with the RYA and other recreational yachting organisations around the world, IYT “Recreational Yachtmaster Certificates” will be known as IYT Yacht Training Coastal, Offshore and Ocean.

Students who hold IYT recreational Yachtmaster certificates will be able to upgrade to a “Master of Yachts 200 Tons” certificate by completing the STCW Basic training courses.

Students who currently hold IYT Yachtmaster Certificates are not required to change them to “Master of Yachts” Certificates but may do so if they wish.

These changes reinforce IYT’s position as the world’s leader in professional and recreational yacht training.
