  • How will this course help me?

    We know it can be incredibly overwhelming when you join your first yacht. It's not just a new job, but it's a whole new environment and a new world you go enter. This course will help you understand what the Stew role entails, what each position onboard actually does, plus how to write a yachting CV that stands out. We hope this course will help you feel more confident as you start yachting, as you'll know what to expect and will know what you need to do to find a job.

  • What if I have a question?

    There are discussion boxes in each module, so if you have a question, just pop in the box and one of our trainers will contact you to answer it.

  • Do you offer refunds?

    No. Due to the online nature of our courses, there are no refunds.

  • For the parents reading this... yes, yachting is a real job - don't worry!

    Our parents all thought the same thing when we first started in the industry too, don't worry. It's a fantastic industry to be in and will be a brilliant adventure. The areas of a Stew (Steward/ess) are housekeeping, laundry and service. You're obviously looking for a course for your child to study to get those extra skills, so whether it's one of our courses or not, those are the things they'll want to learn. We recommend learning how to enter the industry, followed by housekeeping & laundry first, as those are the departments' Stews generally start in. Once they've mastered those, then they may step into a more service-based role. Before your child joins their first permanent/ seasonal role, they should always receive an SEA Contract (Seafarers Employment Agreement). It's always good to have a read-through to know what their rights are, and to put your mind at ease.

  • What other courses do you have for Junior Stews?

    • Junior Stew: Housekeeping, which gives you the basics of housekeeping and laundry, as these will be the first things you'll learn in yachting!
    • Junior Stew: Service, which will teach you all of the service basics, such as how to set a table correctly, the different cutlery you'll come across, wine & cocktail basics and more!

    The above 2 courses, and this one, can be purchased in a money-saving bundle.

    We also have further courses, including:
    • Superyacht Wine Service
    • Service Fundamentals (great for after you've mastered the basics of service)
    • Luxury Tea Service
    • Foundations of Mixology However, we do recommend mastering the basics first and the things you actually need to know, then expanding on that knowledge.
    Our other courses are perfect for once you've gained experience.
