What employers look forFrom the Yacht Training Instructor guide
Schools want credibility first. A deck lecturer for OOW or Master courses usually holds Master 3000gt or Master Unlimited. An engineering lecturer will hold Y1 or a Class 2 or above. Safety instructors often come from fire services, the Navy or the RNLI as well as yachts. You will need a recognised teaching qualification, such as the IMO 6.09 train-the-trainer course or a UK assessor award, and the MCA or flag will check your CV before approving you to teach a specific course.
