SUMMARY:Efficient Deckhand (EDH)
DESCRIPTION:What this course covers\nThe Efficient Deckhand (EDH) course is a five-day course in Simon’s Town that teaches the practical seamanship skills a competent deckhand is expected to have\, including ropework\, rigging\, mooring\, anchoring and emergency procedures. It’s designed for working crew with at least six months of sea time who are building towards the MCA Yacht Officer of the Watch 3000gt CoC. \nYou’ll splice rope and wire\, handle heavy mooring lines\, practise helm orders and lookout duties\, and work through safe deck practices and emergency drills\, with written and practical assessments throughout the week. \nOn completion you’ll receive the MCA Efficient Deckhand certificate\, recognised across yachting and commercial shipping\, and since it has to be held for 18 months before your OOW CoC can be issued\, it’s worth booking as soon as you’re eligible.

SUMMARY:Small Powerboat & RIB Master
DESCRIPTION:What this course covers\nThe Small Powerboat and RIB Master course is a five-day course in Hout Bay that teaches you to drive and take command of a RIB or small powerboat safely\, whether you’re running guests ashore\, collecting provisions or working a tender alongside a superyacht. It’s designed for complete beginners looking for a fast route into paid work on the water\, as well as crew already on board who want to be trusted with the tender\, and no previous experience is needed. \nYou’ll spend time on the water every day practising close-quarters handling\, coming alongside in wind and tide\, high-speed handling and man overboard recovery\, alongside navigation and passage planning\, collision regulations\, ropework\, anchoring and pre-departure engine checks. \nOn completion you’ll receive the IYT RIB Master certificate\, internationally recognised and MCA approved\, allowing you to command vessels up to 15 metres within 20 nautical miles of a safe haven\, and it’s a strong first ticket to have on your CV when applying through crew agencies.
