Following the success of our IDEA Academy, and fantastic uptake in those pursuing superyacht maintenance excellence, IDEA have launched our first specialty course in the IDEA Academy for engineers. The IDEA YACHT – Engineering Course is designed to provide in-depth training and resources to yacht engineers, and provide all crews and shipyard personnel with the tools to utilise our market-leading software solutions to their maximum capabilities.

With decades of experience in streamlining yacht operations, IDEA Data Solutions recognises the growing demand for efficient, user-friendly digital tools in the maritime industry. The IDEA Academy seeks to enable crews by offering structured, hands-on training in our yacht management software, catering to both newcomers and seasoned professionals.

Follow Eric the Engineer on board MY Great Idea as we follow a day in his life, keeping the vessel seaworthy, ensuring all his daily, periodic and one-time tasks are completed. Eric shows just how easy it is to use IDEA from anywhere onboard, from fixing downlights in the gym to using NFC Tags in the engine room, Eric is always keeping track of everything he is doing to ensure proper reporting of his worklist.
