STCW95 certification is a requirement for a crew position
on a mega-yacht but does not, by itself, qualify you for a
crew position. You need additional training, certification
and experience if you expect a captain to sign you aboard.
If you lack these skills and certification, we recommend
you sign up for either the Megayacht crew or Steward/ess
course at the same time and save 10% on a special package
price.
