Our food hygiene and safety training minimizes the chances of food contamination or food poisoning, protecting both the public and your reputation.
We issue a food safety hygiene certificate to those attending our courses, which are organized into three levels of training: here

Training your staff and managers in hygiene best practices is an important step to developing a culture of food safety. Failing to do so increases the risk of food contamination and the public’s poor health.

The progression through the ranks is very similar to the deck officer career course with a series of shore based courses, oral examination and experience needed to earn the various certificates of competence.

You’re at the right place if you want to start or advance your Superyacht career. The Approved Engine Course (AEC1) offers the best value in price and time efficiency plus you’ll get the highest standards of maritime instruction anywhere. This MCA recognised course gives you a basic, theoretical knowledge of marine diesel engines, pollution legislation and the use of LP Gas at sea, providing an introduction to yacht engineering courses which meets the MCA engineering requirements on smaller vessels. This is the fundamental entry level of training, which allows people with the bare minimum of experience and those with non-maritime technical training entry to the industry-specific training and certification as laid down by the MCA. Recent industry changes have led to the implementation of the AEC2 course which, in contrast to AEC1, has a practical element whilst AEC1 is theory based.
