International Yacht Training recognition

International Yacht Training Inc. (IYT) is the world's leading provider of yacht training services - both recreational and professional. IYT provides a stardardised approach to Yacht Training globally and has established a partnership programme with the Superyacht Traing Academy (a division of Club Sail Ltd.) to offer IYT's courses in Australia.

23 countries accept IYT's commercial and recreational Yachtmaster Certificates of Competency. These countries include all red flag countries (UK, Jersey, Guernsey, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Gibralter, British Virgin Islands etc. ) and New Zealand, Ireland, Bahamas, Marshall Islands, Luxembourg and Australia.

The Internationally recognised Classification Society Det Norkse Veritas (DNV) recognises IYT as a Maritime Training Center.

The Training Programme

IYT has developed a modular programme to allow you to learn and develop the skills needed to run a power or sailing boat from absolute beginner to IYT Yachtmaster Ocean. The modules can be taken singularly or in groups depending on the time you have available. IYT recommends, however, that anyh one course should be completed within a period of two years.
