The custom-designed iymcs wallet type certification is stylish and practical.
The wallet outer is made of real leather with a sythentic interior that is resistant to water and protects the certificates.
It is wallet size, comfortable to carry around, it is not too small to lose like the credit-card style type certifications you often see now.
The iymcs Certificates are printed to ISO9001:2015 standards, are dual-language and feature extensive security features to security level 3
(Government passports & national Iidentification documents are security levels 1 & 2) and can be used as a personal ID in daily situations.
(Nb. It cannot be used instead of a passport/national identity card).
Many people think that driving a 12 metre(40 foot) sports cruiser at 25 knots that there is nothing to it and in fact, the reality is something else. At this speed, other boats as well as obstructions approach in a matter of minutes leaving little time to navigate or to react. Such situations can be complicated further by masses of other boats that are often found during the summer months near to the coast. Knowing how to deal with these situations and others is what this course is about. The iymcs "Master 10GT/12m™" power course teaches you how to navigate safely like a pro.
The unique format of the iymcs "Master 10GT/12m™" power is progressive and allows you to develop your skill set at your own learning pace. Within the extensive syllabus, you can choose several course subjects that you wish to focus upon. Another unique feature of the course is the up-to-date learning techniques that begin with the use of technologies to understand subjects and techniques, these are then underpinned by the practise of traditional methods and values as the course progresses. This approach is avant-garde and is very effective in getting to the point of what you need to know, as well as which skills are needed, to safely navigate. It also gives to you a well-rounded knowledge and skill base so that you are able to self-develop as you gain more experience.
As with all the iymcs courses, safety is a key element but iymcs takes the subject a stage further. To understand safety, an important criteria is situation awareness. The iymcs "Master 10GT/12m™" power course focuses upon developing the basic situation awareness skills.
Subjects covered include the CEVNI code for inland waterways in Europe, pilotage, the basics of the marine diesel engine and the systems on-board. Exercises in safety such as man-over-boards and emergency situations such as fire, flooding and grounding are also covered. boat-handling and docking are important elements and much time is spent in practising this. Picking-up a mooring buoy and anchoring in crowded bays are done in real-life exercises to show you the issues and how to resolve them. The all-important towing exercise is also covered.
The course is interesting and the learning experience is enjoyable. The iymcs "Master 10GT/12m™" power course starts you at ground-zero and teaches you what you really need to know.
Our Society, the 'International Yacht Marine Certification Society" (iymcs) operates its entire operations under a Quality Management System
(QMS) that is in compliance with the International Standards Organisation (ISO) 9001:2015 amended. Part of this compliance involves full auditing procedures.
This is an important reference and enables us to gain recognitions from maritime admininstrations and marine industry bodies alike.
The QMS together with the ISO, ensures that iymcs and its Members operate to the highest standards possible. All our courses, and more importantly the
Certifications that we issue, are under ISO9001:2015.
This practise is most unusual for such courses and certifications. Some organisations will claim ISO:9001
adherence but often the reality is the ISO compliance is for a very small number of their courses.
