PROGRESSIVE CREW CAREER PROGRAMME
The superyacht industry actively seeks individuals who are committed to building a professional career. The E-Learning course package offered by the Progressive Crew Career Programme has been designed as a starting point for individuals aspiring to work as crew members on yachts.
The Progressive Crew Career Programme aims to provide a safe and robust knowledge base for those entering an industry that is exciting but challenging, and which without proper preparation can become an expensive endeavour with minimal results.
Completing the E-Learning courses demonstrates to crew agents and others that you are dedicated to making a career in this industry. Your completion certificate instils trust that you are serious about a professional career in luxury yachting, even if you have limited prior experience, it also demonstrates that you have made every effort to be as prepared as possible for the industry as a newcomer.
