Art of Service course structure:

 

The IAMI GUEST Hospitality Introduction Program is designed for those starting their career in the interior department of a superyacht.

This program provides a strong foundation, helping new crew secure employment and bring essential skills to their first onboard role.

Yachting demands flawless luxury service, leaving little room for error. While senior interior staff guide new hires on specific operations, they expect junior crew to already possess basic skills to perform effectively.

 

The IAMI GUEST Hospitality Advanced Program is designed for those with prior onboard experience or a background in hospitality and service who wish to advance in a professional interior department onboard.

This program offers a unique opportunity to build on existing skills and gain the fundamental training required for more senior roles. Candidates must demonstrate relevant experience, either onboard or shore-based, and training providers will assess eligibility on a case-by-case basis. It is recommended that candidates submit a current CV with references and relevant qualifications.

Candidates will have the skills to excel at a senior interior role. Those who complete the full program and meet the required Sea Service can earn the IAMI GUEST Senior Steward/ess Certificate of Competence (CoC), with prerequisites including at least 12 months of onboard service or equivalent shore-based experience.
