Revision: The IAMI GUEST Programme Structure — Introduction, Advanced & Management Levels

Orientation card — GUEST (Guideline for Excellence in Superyacht Training) is the interior/hospitality training programme accredited by IAMI, the International Association of Maritime Institutions. Unlike an MCA orals syllabus such as MIN 653, GUEST has no single public government document — it is delivered as a set of numbered units by IAMI-accredited private training providers (Bluewater Yachting, Seas The Day, Barcelona Crew Academy, PYTUSA and others). This card cross-references several of those providers' published course structures to build a consistent picture.

Three Assessed Levels

• Introduction level — entry-level steward(ess) units: Unit 23 (Introduction to Yachting & Yachting Life), Unit 32 (Basic Housekeeping & Laundry Services), Unit 02 (Basic Food & Beverage Service) and Unit 03 (Wine, Bartending & Mixology).
• Advanced level — for crew with roughly 12 months onboard interior experience: Unit 34 (Interior Administration & HR), Unit 05 (Advanced Food & Beverage Service), Unit 07 (Advanced Laundry Services) and Unit 09 (Advanced Valet Services).
• Management level — the Chief Steward(ess) / Head of Department pathway: Unit 21 (Accounting, Bookkeeping & Budgeting), Unit 30 (Human Resources & Crew Wellbeing), Unit 36 (Event, Destination & Interior Management), plus Unit 17 (Foundation Leadership) and Unit 22 (Advanced Leadership).
