Superyacht project management course

[Swilsson]

Online training provider "Maritime Training Academy" is offering a course on superyacht project management.

Anyone who went through it can give me some insights on the quality of the content and whether it actually helps in securing a job (or is it all about experience on the job -working your way up- anyway?)

Online training seems to have become the equivalent of businessmen selling shovels and jeans to gold diggers during the Gold Rush -the first making it big , most of the latter didn't- so I'm quite wary of forking out money just to have a certificate or diploma to add to my CV without any proof it actually has any value.

You might ask if there are any people who have successfully completed the course that you might have a conversation with.Then ask that person if they know of anybody else who has found a job as a result of doing the course.I would have thought that the boatyard management course at Southampton Solent University would be a more reliable alternative but it does require three full time years to get the qualification.Sadly,too much boat building management is done by individuals who believe that repeating the mantra "work faster" constitutes management.

Thanks wet feet for your reaction,

This is what I'm aiming for exactly: get feedback from several sources as to constitute a perception of the market.
Since I already have a Master degree in Industrial Design (containing quite some management already) and 20 years experience in yacht design (and management of the early phases of superyacht projects), I'm nor really looking into a bachelor or master's degree really. An online course I could take at my own pace (meaning faster rather than slower) just to fill in some of the blanks would be a more practically feasible option to me.
