Making Maritime Training Simple!
About Us
AstroNav UK, (formerly the UK branch of Crew Training Solutions for IYT courses) have over 15 years experience in providing training to the small boat and yachting sectors of the maritime industry.
The IYT Master of Yachts 200gt Unlimited Certificate of Competence is an MCA Approved Course and accepted for progression from MCA STCW Officer of the Watch (OOW) 3000gt (Yachts) to MCA Chief Mate 3000gt (Yachts). The 5-6 day course includes the exam, passage plan and practical sights.
AstroNav UK utilises modern & current nautical publications found on the bridge of modern yachts to deliver engaging and relatable training.
AstroNav UK are the only provider of the IYT Master of Yachts Unlimited course, exam and CoC in the UK (an arguably better alternative to the RYA Yachtmaster Ocean). The IYT/MCA Master of Yachts Unlimited CoC is accepted by the MCA for progression from OOW 300gt to Chief Mate 3000gt (Yachts).
Whilst we specialise in delivery of AstroNav / Celestial Navigation, we share premises with our sister company CTS & SMS UK Ltd., an MCA Approved Training Provider for various courses including MCA STCW Proficiency in Medical First Aid.
