GUEST Yacht Administration Program

The IAMI GUEST Yacht Administrations Program is available to those who have some responsibility with the onboard yacht accounting & administrations that support other onboard roles, such as Captain, Chief Officer or Purser.

"The GUEST Yacht Administrations Program is specifically tailored to ensure students gain skills and knowledge required to support some of the Administration duties within the onboard operations.

The Yacht Administration workloads have significantly increased over the last few decades, & with most of the Heads of Department being responsible for some or all of elements of the onboard Administrations, from Accounting to Event Planning, the GUEST Administration Program covers it all."
