Course Description<\/h2>\r\nIYT Master of Yachts courses have been recognised by the British Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) since 1998 for use on board all Red Ensign registered Yachts up to 200 gross tons. Although the courses were specifically designed for use on Red Ensign Yachts, they are now accepted by many other flag states because of their prestigious MCA recognition.\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h2>\r\nThis combined package is for those who have extensive experience on both Power and Sail vessels and are confident that they can fulfil the requirements detailed herein for both. Your course will last approximately two weeks, starting with a 6 day IYT\/MCA Master of Yachts Theory \/ shore based course at one of our tailored training facilities. On completion of your theory course, you will then embark onto either the Power or Sail practical course (this will depend on course availability, candidate experience and location. You will be advised upon booking as to the exact schedule). On completion of the 5-day practical training course onboard one of our approved vessels, you will then either, transfer to the other class of vessel (power or sail) for further training before taking your final exams or you will complete an exam aboard one type of vessel before returning later to the other type.\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h2>\r\nNote: you will be examined separately for Power and Sail.\r\n
