Accounting, VAT & Charter

Provides the skills to excel in supporting yacht accounting and administration.

Description

The Crew Academy’s IAMI & GUEST-accredited Accounting, VAT & Charter 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.
