Frequently Asked Questions |
How much can I charge for the IYT courses?
IYT does not get involved with the price structure of the individual schools. It
is entirely left to your own discretion to charge what you wish.
Can candidates do the theory courses during the
winter seasons and the practical courses when the weather is more favourable?
Yes, they can. Countries with colder winter climates tend to teach the theory
courses in the evenings and weekends and the practical courses during the summer
months.

to comply with the course requirements?

those that require the additional nautical mileage for the International
