“The whole experience was incredible, the whole course exceeded expectations. Julia is a fantastic teacher and a wealth of knowledge”

– Bianca, Residential Purser Graduate
Trainers Andrew Roch & Julia Harris with Purser Graduate

"What an incredible learning experience...

“Julia, our trainer, brought extensive industry experience and excellent teaching methods to the course. Her passion for the industry and dedication to teaching made the learning process enjoyable and engaging.

“Moreover, I must commend the The Crew Academy for its outstanding hospitality during the Residential Purser Course. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home and in a great learning environment. The facilities were excellent, and Andrew, the Director and Course Facilitator, was always on hand to ensure that everything was taken care of.

“I highly recommend this course to all aspiring Pursers.”

– Linda, Residential Purser Graduate

“The perfect way to unlock the skills required to not only build a strong team, but also to lead it into its full potential.”

– Louise, Advanced Leadership Graduate

"The leadership course was nothing short of phenomenal...

“A resounding 10 out of 10. The Advanced Leadership course transformed my perspective on leadership, equipping me with invaluable skills and insights that will undoubtedly shape my future endeavours.

“Every aspect, from the engaging content to the supportive instructor guidance, surpassed my expectations.

“This course has truly been a game-changer, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to embark on this transformative journey.”

– Demi, Advanced Leadership Graduate

 “Brilliant course for developing and fine tuning your leadership skills. The instructors and keynote speakers have been outstanding.”

– Chris, Captain on the Command & Senior Leadership Program

"The YORP course exceeded my expectations!

“Andrew and Sam’s passion and expertise shine through in every session, making complex material engaging and practical.

“Their Q&A sessions with industry experts add real-world insights that bring the lessons to life. This course is perfect for Pursers and Build Captains looking to deepen their knowledge and even explore new career paths.

Highly recommended!

– Linda, YORP Graduate

“The platform is amazing. I found it super easy to work with, the content is easy to access and I liked having that blue bar on the right hand side showing your progress and I loved watching it turn green with each submission!”

– Chantelle, Online Purser Graduate

"I wasn't expecting to take so much out of the course...

“The Mental Health Awareness program really made me realise how many aspects of mental health are not addressed to the extent which they should be onboard.

“I really hope that I can implement better practices going forward and take this information onboard my next vessel, as well as share it with my friends in the industry to help promote awareness!

“Thank you to Andy for being so interactive and passionate about the course.”

– Robyn on Mental Health & Wellbeing Awareness
