YDSA launched its training pathway - YDSA Academy - in 2019. Various training opportunities are rolled out for Members to support their own career progression using online modules, practical events and interactive events online. Members are also able to submit other training activities for consideration towards their pathway, leading ultimately to YDSA professional certification for Members. All events count towards a member's Continuous Professional Development points.
YDSA offers more events throughout the year to assist Surveyors and Designers in their professional development and provide great networking opportunities. These include visits to factories or boatyards, practical training days, our annual London Conference in March and our Certifying Authority training day during the Southampton Boat Show each year.
The Annual YDSA Conference brings together surveyors, designers and others from the marine industry for a day of industry updates from a range of marine professionals. The conference also provides a great networking opportunity.
The Conference is an in-person event and open to Members, Partners and Non-Members alike.

With HMRC’s transition to Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment approaching, many self employed yacht brokers and surveyors will soon need to begin using compliant digital accounting software and filing quarterly submissions. To support you through this change, PKF Francis Clark will be delivering a 1 hour webinar for ABYA members this autumn. The session will explain what MTD means specifically for yacht brokers operating as sole traders, and what steps you may need to take to remain compliant.
