Testimonial by Matthias
The Yachter: “What training did you receive at The Yachter?”
Matthias: “I took a 200 GT master’s course at The Yachter.”
The Yachter: “What motivated your desire/need to take the Captain Master 200 GT course at The Yachter?”
Matthias: “It’s the fact that I can get this diploma with distance learning courses, which has enabled me to continue my engineering studies at the same time.”
The Yachter: “Why did you choose The Yachter?”
Matthias: “For the quality of the teaching and the teaching tools/supports.”
The Yachter: “What were the three things you liked best about training at The Yachter?”
Matthias: “Discovering the ‘profession’, helping each other and sharing skills during practice periods.”
The Yachter: “What would be the most important thing for you to recommend The Yachter to other sailors like yourself?”
Matthias: “The ‘short’ distance learning course.”
The Yachter: “What are your plans now?”
Matthias: “I have a professional project in collaboration with my school: the design and manufacture of specific tooling to facilitate the maintenance of shaft lines on yachts (60m +). My aim is to combine my technical background as an engineer, to be able to manage a shipyard period, to understand/master and be able to intervene on mechanical systems. And my “sailor” background, navigation. In short, to manage my boat from A to Z.”
