About the course
The Crew Academy’s IAMI & GUEST-accredited Accounting,
Charter & VAT program is designed to equip crew members
with the skills and knowledge to excel in supporting onboard
yacht administration.
This program is ideal for crew members who share some
responsibility for onboard yacht accounting and administration
tasks, assisting departments like the Captain, Chief Officer, or Purser.
It is specifically tailored to ensure students gain skills and
knowledge required to support some of the Administration duties
within the onboard operations.
Administration workloads have significantly increased over the
last few decades, and with most of the Heads of Department
being responsible for some or all of elements of the onboard
Administrations, from Accounting to Event Planning, this
program covers it all.
