    hy

    i saw somebody offering a one year course regarding yacht management and yacht basic stuff (security, safety, crew, manning,....)
    i was wondering if somebody heard from somebody that he took this course and got his diploma. the course is called Superyacht operations. i am really interested in the literature they use, but i couldnt find it on the net. has somebody something?

    i would really like to read something more regardign the yacht industry and everything surrounding running a yacht but i only can find data in Yachting magazines, never found a good NEW book on this topic.

    Does somebody have some nice literature to propose or where can i get more academic background regarding yacht management

    thanks a lot.

    regards

    A Google search under Superyacht turns up a bunch of such schools and courses, but someone behind me may be better able to help you weed through.

    MPI Group in England has a course called "diploma in Superyacht operations"

    The web site on the literature is mpigroup.co.uk when it tried it, it was under construction. If you google the above phrase you will find it.

    Hi,

    You are hopefully aware in the 21st Century that there has been a number of "courses" springing up that are specifically designed to milk your wallet of funds whilst only giving the slightest indication that you are going to benefit longterm from taking such a course.

    Look here and read the third article down:

    There is a link there to this: It looks like the MPI Site has changed names.

    Good Luck but don't pauperize yourself to take one of these courses.
