About the course
The Crew Academy's GUEST-accredited Yacht Owner’s
Representative Program is designed for anyone looking to
learn about the role of an owner's representative. Delivered
completely online.
The Yacht Owner’s Representative Program (YORP) is the
fully- accredited qualification designed to set a new industry
standard. The program has been developed to provide a deep
understanding and practical knowledge on the leadership,
operational and technical skills required for this role. It is directed
at all existing and aspiring owner’s representatives, project
managers, captains, officers and contractors working in any
shipyard on behalf of a yacht owner.
Backed by SYBAss and accredited by IAMI & GUEST, the learning
outcomes of the YORP were conceived by a team of experienced
owner’s representatives and shipyard project managers.
Developed as a two-part program, the YORP is delivered
exclusively by valued and certified IAMI & GUEST training providers,
The Crew Academy and Luxury Hospitality Management.
The core operational and technical aspects of the program are
covered in a comprehensive three-part online program by The
Crew Academy, in collaboration with more than 30 specialist
contractors, shipyard personnel and other industry experts.
This section of the course covers all the practical tools ORs need
to have in order to deliver a new build or refit: from project
management and compliance; to the finer details of yacht design
and build; as well as financial, legal and administrative knowledge.
Luxury Hospitality's Core Leadership Program is delivered in person
at various locations throughout the year.
Full YORP Program £8000
including online TCA course and Luxury Hospitality
course in-person or online.
