IYT Worldwide has written confirmation that the IYT Master
of Yachts Certificates are accepted by the British Maritime & Coastguard
Agency and all of the 13 Red Ensign Group countries, which are the United
Kingdom, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Isle of
Man, Anguilla, Falkland Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, Montserrat, Saint Helena and
Turks and Caicos Islands. This information is also available on our website here.
While IYT Master of Yachts certificates may be accepted in
countries beyond those for which IYT holds formal recognition or acceptance
documentation, IYT cannot guarantee acceptance by every country or maritime
authority.
Before relying on an IYT certificate for employment, you
should confirm the requirements directly with the relevant maritime authority
and/or vessel flag-state administration. Acceptance may depend on the vessel's
flag, the waters in which it operates, whether it is used commercially or
privately, and the position in which you intend to work.
For example, if you are asking whether an IYT Master of
Yachts certificate will allow you to work in Australia, you should confirm the
applicable requirements directly with the Australian maritime authorities and
the vessel's flag-state administration, as applicable.
Students should not assume that an IYT certificate
automatically provides authorization to work in a particular country solely
because the certificate is valid. The relevant authority determines whether the
qualification is accepted for the intended employment or operation.
