MOY...I would like to Thank you… The school was great. I enjoyed my times. The instructor was very knowledgeable and greatly appointed to their individual tasks. I will recommend IYT to others. Thanks again, Best Regards

As the saying goes “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” You can apply that to boating as well. How do you get experience maneuvering a twin screw motor yacht if no one lets you? Because if you don’t have a license or previous experience to do so, it’s hard to find someone willing to let you take the helm of their precious boat. What a great opportunity that IYT offers with its Power Boat Handling course. It definitely calmed my nerves before I had to take my practical portion of my Yacht master 200 ton offshore course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has any doubts in their ability to maneuver a twin screw motor yacht!

The Boat Handling instruction, for me was a great opportunity to improve my skills and learn techniques that I was not formerly familiar to. Doug was a great instructor and worked close to the crew as possible giving us reminders and staying patient throughout the lessons. I generally felt I was not the greatest of handler, but after the class I have much more confidence at the helm. I would recommend this class to anyone who needs to brush up their skills or simply to adjust to a new boat. Thank you.

The Boat Handling course in essence, put my mind at ease and gave me confidence to go on in the practical and not be too worried. If you have never driven a twin-screw before I highly recommend it. Doug, the instructor is very patient with the novice and teaches you a lot of necessary boat handling skills. Definitely worth the money and the time.

On 23 Jan 2010, I enrolled in the IYT Power boat handling one day course on the Sunday prior to my MOY Practical. Simply put, the class was essential in making me feel comfortable upon a twin screw vessel. Prior to the class, my handling experience had exclusively been with single screw powerboats and sailing vessels. Having an extra day of boat handling prior to my practical allowed me to focus on the practical of the MOY exam rather than also having to familiarize myself with a new vessel.

This note is to thank you, for the wonderful time and experience I just had while doing my Power boat Handling instruction. I believe this short instruction is a great asset for any deck crew member in the Yachting industry, whether is a qualified Yachtmaster, somebody doing the transition from sail to power, an experience Deckhand, or even an experience First Mate looking for close quarters maneuvering time, more practical docking on different vessels, as for some of us is hard to get the time on the boat we are currently working, due shortage of crew or many other things that come in to play, this is also a great preparation for Yachtmaster exam, will give you the confidence and clear the questions that we have, the experience that we gain maneuvering different boats on different weather conditions is invaluable, that is what make us better. I am working towards my Chief Mate ticket and feel a descent boat handler. I have logged about 100,000 NM at sea, sail and power. We had the right conditions the wind and the tide play an important role that day, which kept it interesting. Will definitely do it again, a day on the boat having fun with the boys while you are practicing your boat handling skills!!! Sincerely yours Victor Arias

Passing my 500ton Master exam was a huge accomplishment and I couldn’t have done it without the help of everyone at I.Y.T. The course load is challenging and the instructors are very professional as well as hands on. I recommend International Yachtmaster Training to anyone looking to further their career in the yachting industry. Thanks for Everything

Medic first aid, GMDSS, MCA oral exam: It is a real pleasure to study among professionals, learning with highly prepared teachers, up to date information and equipment. The staff is great, helpful, competent, trustworthy and extremely supportive. The right place where I'll come back in a short time to continue my education. Thanks to everyone in IYT

Myself and two other deckhands were in for a long yard period in Ft. Lauderdale. To keep our careers moving in a forward direction we thought making the best of our situation would be getting more qualifications. Our boat said that though they could not give us time off to do classes. I called IYT and told them our situation and with-in a few days they had set up a program for our group, dates and prepped us for taking the course. The teacher was extremely informative and I'm happy to say we all passed. I'm very grateful to IYT for being flexible with our scheduling limitations as well as impressed with their ability to deliver the education and qualifications we needed to further our careers.

Thank you to all of IYT staff members for the consistent outstanding work done over my years of maritime training with your institution. Great instructors, well organized management, friendliness and empathy of staff kept me coming back year after year and steered me towards success. IYT is my first recommendation to my crew members when their time comes for maritime training certification. Having completed all of my Masters certification, I can only say one thing, well done IYT, mission accomplished!

STCW '95 - First Aid.. Rex was very well read on this course, and easy to learn from. He did an excellent job!!

OOW Advanced Sea Survival...Keep up the good work it's nice to feel at home.

I just wanted to keep you updated: I passed my MCA Officer of the Watch oral examination (along with the requirements for Chief Mate 3000 GT). Thank you for playing a role in helping me achieve my goal Doug! I really appreciate the effort you put into your IYT classes. Please pass on my thanks to all the instructors and staff at IYT as they were there from the start. They successful took me, with very little exposure to deck operations, and prepared me for a career on yachts. Thanks again!

MOY I enjoyed my month with you & your staff. Doug & George were excellent instructors & your staff was all around friendly & very helpful. I especially wanted to thank you for all the time you spent getting me up to speed on the different programs & requirememts - time which was not wasted. I feel now I got an extra education above & beyond the classes by understanding the bigger picture of training and licensing. Also appreciate the extra effort you made to accommodate us...that really made a difference for me!...I had a great time & experience before, during & after the programs & look forward to continuing my maritime education with IYT.

Small Powerboat & RIB Course... Great Course; Excellent lecturer & Staff.

GMDSS...Yesterday afternoon after the exam I did not have a chance to thank you personally. It was a great and humbling learning experience. I appreciate your examplary deligence and dedication to your work. I wish I could have done better. Hope to cross paths again in the future.

STCW '95...Took this class 5 years ago from another school. This class was 1000 times better. Professional instructor with tons of experience to back it up.

GSK...Fantastic that an instructor can come and do in house training. Very beneficial to a working yacht crew. Great service to offer!

GSK...Course was a good learning experience.

Power Boat II...Really enjoyed the course and have learnt so much to help be a better and more knowledgeable crew member

MOY Unlimited...Great Course with Great Instructor keeping me on my toes and motivated to learn. Love coming here as it inspires me to further my education.

MOY Power Practical...Great week on the boat, got as much time behind the wheel as felt necessary. A very productive and educational course. Highly recommended.

GMDSS...Ten non-stop days of class is difficult, but there is not a weekend to forget anything because class keeps on going. Come rested and be ready to study. For me, it fit my busy schedule and allowed me to get to the USCG on a Thursday morning for license renewal.

MOY...Looking at the amount of information the MOY course covered was initially overwhelming, however, Lou did a fantastic job laying the foundation and guiding us through the dense material. His ability to focus and entertain the class made learning every theory, rule and definition a joy. I left the course, not only more confident in all the topics covered, but in my ability to remember it all because I truly understood it

Yacht Rating Course...Very Good! Had a great time. George is a fantastic guy.

Yacht Rating Course...A mixology of education & entertainment.

MOY Offshore...Excellent material, practical experience and instructor!

Master of Yachts Offshore...Course is very intense. Lots of information. Everything was Very Good...

Master of Yachts Offshore...Had very good practical experience, definitely recommend the school.

Nav & Radar...Jim did an Excellent job as Instructor. THANKS Jim!!!

Nav & Radar... Great School. I wish I had done more of my OOW Modules here. I like how much more this school is geared towards the MCA certificates. There is always someone to answer your questions no matter how small.
