What employers look forFrom the AV/IT Officer guide
Captains look for proven network skills first and AV second. Typical backgrounds are shoreside IT support, broadcast or live events, and high-end residential integration with Crestron or Control4. A Cisco CCNA or CompTIA Network+ carries real weight, and so do manufacturer programming certificates. Yacht experience helps, but plenty of first-time officers come straight from luxury hotel or private estate IT. Like all crew, you need STCW and an ENG1. You also need a calm, discreet manner with principals and their staff, who expect technology to work every time.
