Career training

“The course is very professional and everyone is friendly and keen to help you succeed. The key reason I joined UKSA is to get my yachting ticket from an organisation that is well respected in the yachting industry. I also wanted to benefit from the careers support to be able to break into a career in professional yachting.”

“My favourite part of being at UKSA was working with lots of different skippers, which meant we got a wide and diverse training package and learnt a great deal. Network and socialise – it’s great to meet lots of different people and you never know, you may even meet your future employer!”

“I secured my first job on-board a superyacht within a couple of days after graduating thanks to meeting a Cadet already working in the industry who had returned to UKSA for further training. I think one of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt at UKSA is the life experience you gain from being there; not only is it living away from home but also how to look after yourself and to self-motivate.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone. The teachers are from the yachting industry and are very skilled with a wealth of knowledge and they make learning fun. The sailing was great, and I learnt a lot of different seamanship skills.”
