Audio Visual/ IT Course

Looking to quickly build confidence with managing and troubleshooting superyacht AV systems? Perhaps you’re looking for work as yacht ETO or AV/IT Officer? Maybe you’re an engineer on a yacht without an ETO or AV/IT Officer. You’re responsible for AV, but need to know more. Yacht AV systems are usually high-end, bespoke, large and complex. Crucially, they’re a major part of the guest experience. Typically, you need training and experience with each main system component. Yet this training is hard to find. Additionally, AV training isn’t always available directly to crew. Where it is, you’ll find it time consuming and expensive. Furthermore, manufacturer courses often go beyond what crew need. Because they’re intended for those installing and programming systems regularly. We understand. We’ve spent many years supporting these systems onboard ourselves. This experience has helped develop the exact training course you need. Our ethos is teaching common theory and tasks around the most common equipment. Therefore we feature equipment from leaders such as Crestron. In fact, Crestron’s Superyacht Systems Technician certification is exclusively included. After teaching fundamental theory, we switch to the practical side. Students are taught the common tasks likely to be encountered onboard. Our dedicated training facility is full of the most common superyacht technology. In fact, the entire class is based around or own superyacht AV system and supporting documentation. This remains our most popular course. Be sure to book early.
