UKSA’s professional training launches long-term careers in the marine industry
UKSA is one of the world’s leading maritime training providers and its waterfront base on the Isle of Wight is the perfect place to learn
An RYA Centre of Excellence, the United Kingdom Sailing Academy (UKSA) offers a full range of profes- sional maritime training with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), launching long-term careers in a growing industry. UKSA’s flagship programme, the
Superyacht Cadetship, has been designed for those aged 18-25 and is a credible alternative to university for those looking to train as officers. The structured programme equips graduates with a strong founda- tion of knowledge and a realistic
understanding of the superyacht industry. Cadets ‘earn while they learn’ with periods of paid employ- ment onboard superyachts inter- spersed with further training at UKSA. Growing numbers of young people are signing up thanks to the unrivalled support, all-inclu- sive facilities and ongoing industry guidance provided to all students by the expert team at UKSA. Indeed, UKSA is proving to be
a useful resource for industry professionals seeking crew. Luxury superyacht MY Icon has six UKSA
crew and officer Daniel Lambert, who himself trained at UKSA, says: “We trust in UKSA because we did our training there and can vouch for its quality — it’s the best place from which to hire crew. UKSA special- ises in making candidates ready for life on board a superyacht.”
Charity work What makes UKSA a truly special place, however, is its charity work, using sailing and watersports as a catalyst to transform young peoples’ lives. The money raised by the generosity of sponsors, fundraising and professional courses means 10,000 young people experience the power of the sea every year. CEO Ben Willows says: “Assisted
funding for students widens access to maritime training, enhancing life skills and removing barriers to employment. Our vision is to offer training to 50% of our students by 2020 and ongoing funding is vital to delivering this vision. A total of 150,000 individuals have trained at UKSA since it opened in 1987, forging successful, long- term careers and equipped with skills for life. If you’d like to be part of the next generation of maritime professionals, we can help.”
