Our intensive 18-day Yacht Engineer Course takes place in Cape Town and is ideal for those looking to get into an Engineering role on board. The Yacht Engineer Course includes the Approved Engine Course (AEC1), which in terms of the MCA requirements for commercially and privately operated yachts, means that without an Approved Engine Course (AEC1) qualification, a crew member cannot progress through the rest of the engineering qualifications, namely: AEC2, Small Vessel Second Engineer (formerly Y4) < 200GT and < 1,500kW, Small Vessel Chief Engineer (formerly Y3) < 500GT and < 3,000kW, Small Vessel Chief Engineer (formerly Y2/Y1) < 3,000GT and < 9,000kW.

This could include a range of jobs such as: Engines, Generators, Water Makers, Air-Conditioners, TVs, Refrigerators, Jet-Skis, Powerboats etc.
