Government : Approvals

International Yacht Training is a fully approved training company by the British Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and the United States Coastguard (USCG) amongst others.

Our commitment to excellence in training, an internationally recognised quality management system (DNV) ISO 9001 and a strong emphasis on quality instruction has led to approvals from 25 Governments worldwide. No other nautical training organisation in the world is as internationally recognised as IYT.

A number of countries offer dual certification alongside IYT certification. For instance, U.S.citizens who complete the IYT Master of Yachts limited 200 ton course in the U.S. are also eligible to receive the U.S. Coastguard 200 Ton Masters license providing they have the necessary sea time.

In Australia, several nautical colleges offer both IYT Master of Yachts Limited certification and Australian Class 5 certification as dual certificates.

In Canada and the U.S., some schools offer both IYT recreational certificates and their national certification side by side.

A growing number of countries are realising the importance of issuing dual certification to students to satisfy their needs for both national and international certificates of competency. As international travel becomes more readily available for emerging economies, the need for IYT international certification has become ever more apparent.

The following 25 administrations accept IYT Master of Yachts certification for commercial and recreational purposes.
