Even at this time, despite Covid-19, we in the newsroom have been bombarded with requests from charter companies looking for skippers, stewards, hostesses, cooks, and crew. Even in our classifieds market, the trend is confirmed: the rental sector is expanding, demand is strong. Never before has there been such a need for specialized (and professionalized) personnel to meet that demand.
“Perfect, all I have to do is fill out a nice resume boasting of shipboard experience and finding a job will be a breeze,” someone will say. It doesn’t work that way. One does not improvise as a skipper or shipboard steward. Charter companies, agencies, and boating brokers today require experienced personnel who can handle any situation on a boat. If you plan to work in this area of boating, know that your foundation will need to be solid and documented. That’s why it is crucial, in order to have a secure job future, to take the right courses.
Such as those of the Captains & CrewMaritime Academy for Recreation, an organization that has made professionalism and seriousness its strengths. It is no coincidence that the personnel trained by the highly professionalizing school coordinated by Commandant Ugo Carsana and Sabina Pagliei and with the participation of instructor Alesandro Pofferi Is highly regarded in the industry. The secret?
BECAUSE THESE ARE “RIGHT” COURSES
A “craft” approach, based on a very articulate and rigorous teaching plan that manages to transfuse into practical fundamentals what theory, the notions studied in various professional courses alone cannot give. It is a school that is aimed primarily at those who are already working in the nautical charter business or at least have already obtained the titles and qualifications to do so, but wish to deepen their skills and abilities in order to establish themselves in the job market, which, in Italy, is strongly affected by foreign competition.
A team of experienced captains, skippers as well as insiders are in charge of organizing the various activities carried out on a daily basis during the two-week training course, drawing on the cooperation of professionals in each field. From CPR training course director for “first aid,” to Counselor for “managing relationships and conflicts on board” course, to apnea instructor with Apnea Academy teaching for Apnea course, business manager of major charter companies. Captains & Crew also follows the career path of its students even after the end of the course.
DATES OF UPCOMING CAPTAINS & CREW COURSES
There are three courses scheduled soon-the first one starts in exactly two months-which we recommend you enroll in, depending on your level of experience. The ultimate goal? The training and selection of qualified skippers and hostesses who will be able to join the Captains & Crew team with the possibility, through the school’s synergy with charter companies in Italy and abroad, of being placed in the yachting job market.
The best students in the skipper courses also will have the possibility of an additional boarding experience at no charge: a 25-day ocean voyage by flotilla between La Rochelle and Italy. A unique educational pathway that last year’s students, some of whom worked during the last summer season, are familiar with.
