International Yacht Training Worldwide (IYT Worldwide) is an independent sailing and boating training organization which provides education and training standards for professional and recreational boaters and yachtsmen and women. It is a British Columbia, Canada Corporation based in Kelowna. Its qualifications are similar to those of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) at the recreational level, but IYT Worldwide also offers additional courses at the professional level. It is regulated by a number of Maritime Administrations and has an ISO Quality Management System to independently monitor and control all of its training standards.
TBSA Training Academy is an accredited IYT training school and offers a number of powerboat related courses in Singapore and Malaysia.
*Assuming the trainee passes the PPCDL exam
**Students need to complete the assessment checkpoint successfully to continue with the course
***RPL stands for Recognition of Prior Learning which are learning credits you get from PPCDL and Competency Courses
The IYT Small Powerboat and Ribmaster Ticket is on its own a 3 day course which includes 2 modules :
1. Marine Communications (VHF) ticket (https://www.iytworld.com/courses/marine-communications-vhf-src/)
2. Small Powerboat and Ribmaster Ticket (https://www.iytworld.com/courses/small-powerboat-and-rib-master-mca-approved/)
This ticket allows you to charter a boat in Australia and Europe (Med) and is recognized by most charter companies. We are in process of compiling the list of the charter companies and will publish it in due time. This however does not allow you to drive a boat legally in Singapore as the law requires you to have a local license (PPCDL). As such, we have created a course which meets the Singapore PPCDL requirements and allows you to get both the IYT ticket and the PPCDL attendance certificate (You still need to attend and pass the SMA theory and practical tests).
On the reverse, for those who have been actively boating, have a PPCDL and the competency course certificate with TBSA, we recognize those and will give credits on time and cost for these students. This is called Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and it allows the student to get the IYT ticket in a much shorter time and less cost. Check out the chart for more details.
Note:
1. All students are expected to complete eLearning for Marine Communications prior to coming in for the Day 1 AM assessment
2. Students with RPL are expected to complete the eLearning for Small Powerboat & RIB Master on top of the Marine Communications eLearning prior to coming in for Day 1 am assessment. They will screenshot and upload the “Completed” status into the TalentLMS.
3. Note that all items in ‘Red Bold’ are assessments. Students need to pass the assessment to move to the next level
The 1-4 day course will include assessments , theory classes, practical training and practical assessments. Students are required to complete the required IYT eLearning modules prior to coming in for the class and assessments. All assessments will be done in the presence of instructors and cannot be done remotely.
The assessments are submitted to IYT international and the tickets (license cards) are mailed to the students directly.
Joining instructions will be sent to the students after they register and pay up. For more information, please write in to info@theboatshopasia.com.
