Maritime Skills Academy to co-host interior course in new partnership

UK maritime-training provider Maritime Skills Academy has announced a new partnership with the Exclusive Butler School (EBS), which will see the two schools co-host a one-week private yacht and chalet training course.

In a new initiative to offer "extraordinary training to interior-crew hopefuls", Maritime Skills Academy announced that the specialist course will provide the practical experience, confidence and expertise yachties need to stand out in the superyacht and luxury chalet industries.

Butler trainers Mark Moynan and Michael Taylor devised the programme alongside EBS founder John Pettman.

Led by a team of lecturers with vast experience in the trade, the one-week course will take place each month in conjunction with Viking's maritime-safety courses at the Maritime Skills Academy.

In a 12-day package, which incorporates the new interior course, crew hopefuls can undertake all the training they need to be prepared for their first job in the industry. The package includes four-part STCW, Powerboat Level II, VHF Radio and DSD Security training.
