Master of Yachts and Small Powerboat & RIB Master Certificates are Commercial in design and do not require a separate commercial endorsement
The IYT Master
of Yachts and Small Powerboat & RIB Master courses are commercial certification courses resulting in commercial certificates (licenses).
IYT Master of
Yachts and Small Powerboat & RIB Master certificates are commercial qualifications by design and do not require
a separate commercial endorsement, unlike certain recreational qualifications
issued by other training organisations.
The MCA has recognised 3 levels of IYT Master of Yachts Certificates and the Small Powerboat and RIB Master Certificate as being "Commercial" in their own right. They are:
- Master of Yachts Coastal/Mate 200 gross tons and Master for vessels <24 m
- Master of Yachts Limited <200 gross tons
- Master of Yachts Unlimited <200 gross tons
- Small Powerboat and RIB Master
The "Yachtmaster" certificates issued by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) are recreational certificates and these certificates do require a "commercial endorsement" if one wishes to work commercially.
