With The Yachter,
Prepare for your captain's license with flexible, self-paced hybrid training.

  • No time to quit your job and take your captain's license to comply with the law?
  • You are a yachtsman or boating professional:

    - Would you like to order a vessel in compliance with the law?

    - Are you a Yachtmaster and can no longer practice since Brexit?

    - Are you considering a career change?

Since the entry into force of the Manila STCW amendments (2010), part of the theoretical courses can be taken by distance learning, while practical skills are validated in the classroom, in line with international standards.

Thanks to The Yachter' s structured, step-by-step method, which combines distance learning, individualized coaching and face-to-face practical assessments, candidates benefit from tailor-made pedagogical support.
