We are young at heart and enjoy making the learning experience fun, realistic and practical. Galileo’s team of instructors are dedicated professionals in their respective fields of maritime training. Classroom time is kept to a minimum so there is plenty of time spent in or on the water, at sea in our own training vessels, tenders, life-boats and rescue ribs including training in the school of engineering and our advanced firefighting facilities. Our instructors are internationally certified and have a world of experience to pass on to you.
MCA Accredited
OUR COURSES
Galileo provides a wide range of safety, security and first aid courses to meet the needs of superyachts and cruise line, merchant line and oil/gas rig owners, managers and operators. These courses meet and exceed the international standards established by IMO, MNTB, MCA, and ISPS.

Superyacht crew courses include exterior deck crew, interior steward and stewardess, combined skills for deckhand/steward or stewardess, and culinary courses for yacht chef and experienced chefs who transition from a land career to an onboard career.
In addition to established courses, Galileo works with client companies to develop training programs that meet their own specific training needs and policies, providing consultancy services and also undertaking on-board security and safety audits with reports and recommendations.
