We can’t tell you how often we speak to Interior Crew, who feel overwhelmed with an endless amount of admin that you don’t often get taught how to do efficiently and effectively. And then there is the task of planning incredible events and experiences for guests, which, again, isn’t something you generally get taught onboard – it’s usually up to you to learn these things yourself, which can feel daunting. Can you relate? 

If so, our IAMI GUEST Accredited Destination, Event & Interior Management (Unit 36) course is for you. We will help you go from feeling overwhelmed to feeling THRIVING in your yachting career by feeling calm and confident and realising that YOU are an expert in your field and can provide the best experience possible for your guests and crew.

We can do this because we have been where you are...and we know what it really takes to become the most confident and skilled version of yourself onboard.


Kind Words from Students

Here's what some TYSA students had to say about the course

IAMI Guest: Destination, Event & Interior Management

Emily Rickard

I LOVED doing this course, everything was so well thought out and easy to understand from the signing-on process, the information throughout, all the way to the assignment submitting process.

The course was so informative and covered so many different areas, and I loved getting into depth with each subject. The fact that the course covered so much will be so useful throughout my career, and I’ll definitely be delving back into it more than once.

I definitely feel more informed, and more confident! I loved being able to watch videos as well as read text and complete quizzes, it’s a really multi-faceted course.

The destination and events assignments were also so fun and I really enjoyed doing these.

I felt so supported throughout the duration of this course with the 1-1 calls and I never once felt like I couldn’t reach out for support or help if I needed it.

Overall the whole experience was amazing, so much so that I’ve just purchased two more courses! Highly recommend!
