International Yacht Training
The International Yacht Training (IYT) Master of Yachts courses, recognized by the British Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) since 1998, are notable for their global acceptance, especially on Red Ensign registered Yachts up to 200 gross tons.
The prestigious MCA recognition has led to their acceptance by various flag states. Key features of IYT include unparalleled international recognition, a diverse range of courses, and the requirement for practical examinations on water for every Certificate of Competency (COC) course.
Additionally, IYT stands out as the only yacht certification authority with an ISO recognized quality management system and the unique offering of courses in multiple languages. Founded by professional mariners, IYT provides high-security certificates featuring QR codes, holograms, photographs, and signature strips.
The organization also offers its approved instructors and examiners opportunities in 56 different countries, underpinned by a proactive and flexible "can do" approach, emphasizing customer service and exploration of new opportunities.
