Superyacht Electronics Academy

A little about us.

SEACertify is the new name for the training services originally launched under our previous name Just ETOs in 2017.  We are a dedicated marine electronics training provider. Our mission is to address the growing electronics skills shortage in the sector, focusing on areas that are particularly lacking.

We started Just ETOs in 2016 as the first marine electronics recruitment agency dedicated to electronics skills.  Our mission was to address a growing electronics systems skills shortage in the superyacht sector.

We then began developing new training to make it easier for people to enter the sector.  Our first class taught high-end audio-visual and control systems.  These are no doubt crucial to the superyacht guest experience.  Yet, crew wanting to move into the sector found it difficult to get suitable experience or certification in this area.

It was a popular offering, so much so that we decided to expand the training business model and stop recruiting.

However, the name “Just ETOs” wasn’t suitable anymore.  Our training is actually ideal for ANY crew member that might find themselves responsible for the systems we train in.  We also regularly train staff of shore-side companies and shipyards.

And so here we are; a team of experienced and passionate systems engineers.  As a dedicated training provider, our focus is your skills.

Our philosophies remain the same across all our training courses and locations: Familiarise students with the most useful common theory, systems, tasks and knowledge.  This is carried out on the most common equipment in the field, which is present at all our academy locations.

 

It’s about the experience.

Our Team

In addition to their training commitments, our specialist trainers still actively work in their respective fields.  This ensures their knowledge, and our training, remains up to date and relevant.

Our training sessions are not just about following a scripted syllabus.   We love to pass on vital on-the-job experience, and answer specific questions.
