STEP ONE: STCW
The STCW is the first step everyone needs to take. this course covers the basics of boat safety, first aid, fire fighting, personal safety, security and sea survival.

STEP TWO: 10 POWERBOAT
The 10M powerboat is the next step we advise to work in the maritime industry.
It is theory and boat handling. You need to be over 16 years old and have boating knowledge and experience.

STEP THREE: SUPERYACHT DECK CREW
The five-day course is an MCA recognised course that gives the student a comprehensive and all-round general knowledge of the requirements of the superyacht industry.
It incorporates three separate MCA recognised courses: Superyacht Crew, VHF Radio Operators and the Small Power Boat and RIB Master.

STEP FOUR: SUPER YACHT HOSPITALITY
This course gives interior staff of a superyacht the basic knowledge required to enter the industry. The syllabus will cover many aspects of the service industry, including: Bar, wine and food service, detailing, laundry and special skills.

SO WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT
Pricing USD:

STCW                                          $1250

10M                                             $  800

Deck Crew                                   $1095

Superyacht Hospitality                $1200

GRAND TOTAL                          $4345 

If the student is keen on inside work then the Superyacht Hospitality Course would be of value rather than Deck Hand. The opposite then if the interest is to work as a deckhand, so both courses are relevant to a position. Taking both is enrichment and offers better potential for hiring.
