Taking our AV/IT skills mission online!

For obvious reasons, we have been asked a lot this year for online training.  But our focus is always on getting students hands on with the common superyacht systems that fill our academy.

To date, we’ve stayed away from virtualisation and don’t see much value in online “self-paced” training.  There is little engagement with real systems, scenarios or experienced trainers.

So our initial COVID response this year focused on reopening our classrooms in the summer while the virus was lying low.  Which we did successfully before closing early for our usual winter break.

This presented the perfect opportunity to finalise our plans for our new online instructor led classes!

We have now published our new training dates for 2021.  You’ll see new online versions of some classes, before we also reopen for classroom-based sessions whenever possible.

As a dedicated training provider, ensuring students receive value for their course fees is everything to us.  I had reservations about a potential drop in value for training delivered online.  But when we looked at it, we didn’t even need to change the syllabus.  Only the delivery method and systems had to be adapted.

As well as overseeing overall training content and strategy, I’m also one of the trainers myself.  I am fully confident in being able to deliver online without compromising on value.   Scott Molloy, Managing Director.

The physical changes required in the training centre are actually also minimal!  We are employing some clever conferencing solutions to give the same training experience to the remote students.  Demonstrations will be offered soon.
