Barcelona/Tarragona Sailing School & Yacht Charter

Introduction to Yachting (Module 1) This is intended to be a fun single module of 1 day duration designed to introduce a beginner to the sport of Yachting. It is a first step for anyone considering Yachting as a career or pastime.

International Crew Certificate (Modules 2-6) These modules, both theory and practical, give a basic understanding of the knowledge required to be an active crew member on board a Yacht either power or sail.

International Watchkeeper/Flotilla Skipper Certificate (Modules 8-12) These theory and practical modules are aimed at increasing a student’s nautical knowledge sufficiently to be a watchkeeper on board a bareboat Yacht, or a flotilla skipper in fair weather, during daylight hours within sight of land.

International Certificate of Competence (ICC) (Module 13) The ICC is now required for operators of most vessels on both inland and coastal waters in a large part of the EU. Currently, International Certificates of Competence can only be issued to UK or Irish nationals or those who have a UK or Irish residential address.

International Bareboat Skipper Certificate (Modules 14 -16) Candidates are required to have logged a total of 200 nautical miles and 10 days at sea, before advancing to the International Bareboat Captain/Skipper Certificate. This is a certificate of excellence for those candidates who wish to take command of their own yachts confidently and safely, or for those who wish to safely charter a small Yacht for their family vacation. IYT will accept prior learning from other recognised Yachting establishments for those who wish to apply for recognition towards the International Bareboat Captain/Skipper Certificate Examination.

International Bareboat Skipper Examination (Module 17) This module will be a review of everything learned to date and will be composed of both a theory and a practical on board examination which must be successfully completed before the final certificate is issued.

The International Yacht Training (IYT) program is an internationally recognised training scheme. There is a selection of courses on offer from complete beginners up to full skipper qualifications with prices ranging from 150€ for day sessions to fully residential (on board) programs. Structure is flexible and can take account of existing experience and qualifications & modular program can be adjusted to suit your availability
