PRICE COMPARISON


CHECK THE OVERALL COST OF GETTING QUALIFIED -
PYT COULD SAVE YOU ENOUGH TO HOLIDAY IN AFRICA!

In some cases, you can travel to South Africa, do your course and still have money left for a great holiday in South Africa.

This survey was conducted in October 2009, and compares the full package price of various training courses, taking into account other course costs like accommodation, sustenance and the cost of return travel to the PYT academy from the States, Caribbean or Europe.

We have compared typical course costs for Yachtmaster Limited and OOW against two other top training centres
