CHARTER PLANNING
Planning a fantastic trip takes time, and we get that your time is limited. This is why we've written quizzes, planned scavenger hunts that can be used on any boat, planned drinks tastings, created itineraries and SO much more! If you need an activity for guests, head to this area, and we've got you covered!

CHECKLISTS & TEMPLATES
This one is pretty self-explanatory, but we've made you tons of admin, from shift schedules, how-to guides, inventories, pretty wine menus etc, that you can just fill in! Let us save you time by making these for you!

MASTERCLASSES
We understand that not everyone wants to buy a big course, and sometimes it's easier to watch or read a quick training to learn how to do something, whether it's a napkin fold, how to write your CV profile that stands out or how to become a strong leader.
These are digestible trainings, ranging from 5 minutes up to 45 minutes, some video, some written.

IN-PERSON EVENTS
Exclusive access to the online TYS community AND in-person events, everything from wine tastings to brunch, and other amazing events just for Stews!

Kind Words from Students

Here's what some TYSA students had to say about our courses

IAMI Guest: Destination, Event & Interior Management

Emily Rickard, , Chief Stew

I LOVED doing this course, everything was so well thought out and easy to understand from the signing-on process, the information throughout, all the way to the assignment submitting process.

The course was so informative and covered so many different areas, and I loved getting into depth with each subject. The fact that the course covered so much will be so useful throughout my career, and I’ll definitely be delving back into it more than once.

I definitely feel more informed, and more confident! I loved being able to watch videos as well as read text and complete quizzes, it’s a really multi-faceted course.

The destination and events assignments were also so fun and I really enjoyed doing these.

I felt so supported throughout the duration of this course with the 1-1 calls and I never once felt like I couldn’t reach out for support or help if I needed it.

Overall the whole experience was amazing, so much so that I’ve just purchased two more courses! Highly recommend!

IAMI Guest: Destination, Events and Interior Management

Maja Bergström, Chief Stew

Very satisfied with the Destination, Events and Interior Management course.

This GUEST course covers all areas related to HOD responsibilities, making it suitable for professional senior interior crew. Content is in various formats, and realistically applicable to an Interior Management role onboard any program.

Instructor feedback was personable, and I also appreciate the fact that TYSA truly valued student feedback, introducing a platform for course-specific student community & networking upon our requests.

Thank you Gemma and the team for being so passionate about training and leadership in this industry. Genuinely recommend the course!

Junior Stew: Housekeeping

Alexia, Stewardess

I signed up for the Junior Stew Housekeeping course in order to further my existing housekeeping knowledge to Superyacht standard prior to commencing my first season as a stew and have found it nothing short of amazing so far.

The video modules, PDF printouts of products and methods, and information are very thorough and I’m learning lots. Can’t wait to put it to use.

Thanks for creating the course and I look forward to completing it! 👏🏽🙌🏽
