Academy by Ephemeris has a goal of helping crew find the courses they need to do with the maritime trainers that are hosting the courses at a time and place convenient to the crew member.
We have created this platform to be an easily digestible guide on the various career pathways and which qualifications and certifications are required. This platform is a directory of pre-filtered training partners to help crew get started or advance in their careers. This platform is a simple-to-understand guide on how to enhance your career and potential earnings through continued development.
Academy by Ephemeris is not a crew placement agency. So if you are not working in the luxury maritime industry but are interested in doing so and are finding it hard to understand what the industry is about, you can rest assured that you are not alone.
It is complicated from the outside looking in to understand what job roles exist on yachts and what the various career path opportunities are. Academy by Ephemeris defines the career paths but does not explain job roles and what those job roles entail in detail. So for someone new and looking to join the industry, we suggest that instead of listening to gossip and glossy stories from friends and friends of friends, you should rather sign up with the Progressive Crew Career Programme that is hosted by a number of maritime training facilities around the world.
We have taken a tour of this Progressive Crew Career Programme and can confidently say that this is a comprehensive e-learning package designed to give newcomers in-depth knowledge of all the operations in each department onboard a yacht. The programme covers Deck, Interior, Sailing, Safety, Service, and many more subjects.
Presently this Progressive Crew Career eLearning Programme offers more than just a comprehensive understanding of job roles onboard yachts. It also offers people who complete the online eLearning courses with very high scores to be awarded one of 3 guaranteed opportunities that will help them kickstart a successful career in the luxury yacht industry.
As the product manager of Academy by Ephemeris, we do not know of a better way for newcomers to get a complete understanding of jobs on yachts and what they entail in reality. Additionally, I applaud the efforts of the maritime training facilities that are promoting this eLearning package. I have spoken to the creators of this eLearning product, and I understand that they are using eLearning as a filter to look for people who want to invest and excel in a luxury maritime career. They are looking for people who are not only passionate about being in the maritime industry but who also want to eagerly pursue a professional career which surpasses the current industry standard.
