Charting a course to meet the increasing demand for skilled yacht crews, The Professional Yachting Association (PYA) unveils an avant-garde AV/IT training programme tailored to the evolving needs of the industry. Working in collaboration with key stakeholders, including equipment manufacturers, installation and maintenance specialists, and training providers, the initiative seeks to familiarise crews with the technological systems found on modern yachts. These are not just any system, but those that greatly influence on-board operations, guest experiences, and cyber-security. The courses chart a new destination, not leaning towards a degree-level certificate of competency in electrical systems, but rather a practical proficiency in audio-visual and IT systems – a requirement slowly gaining more traction.
