We asked our most recent students to tell us in their own words why they chose IYRS.
The reason I chose to apply to IYRS is because this was the only school that offered an "all-around" marine program. In 6 months you get to learn everything there is about fixing a boat. Most of my fellow students will apply what they learn to begin their careers. For me, I am retiring from the military after serving for 22 years and decided to make our sailboat our home, with my wife and cat. After the first month you begin to realize why this school is known among the boating community, get to work and network with amazing people, and the education is fantastic. I'm very pleased with my experience so far and look forward to the next five months.
