Whenever possible, most of the practical activities of the Yacht Steward/ess training course, including Basic Food and Beverage Services module, are completed onboard a motoryacht (M/Y) located nearby the classroom.

On the second day of the training, Yacht Stew trainees put all their acquired skills and knowledge into practice. Onboard a motoryacht, they make all the required preparations to welcome guests - mise-en-place, table decorations, beverages, hot towels, cutlery,  glassware etc. Guests invited by Seascope France are usually representatives of the superyacht industry - crew agents, chief stews, interior managers, captains, yacht management specialists etc. During live lunch, the course trainees serve food and drinks practicing menu presentation and synchronized, silver and other types of food service. 

Upon successful completion of the assessments, the student will be issued an IAMI GUEST Certificate, which will specify the competencies achieved throughout the module. The certificate is sent in the digital format from IAMI Certification platform to the email address indicated in the course registration form.
