  • Composite Materials 1

    Composite Materials 1 is a practical, technical introduction to composite materials, focused on how they are manufactured and used in real production. The course highlights what matters in practice: construction details, production-oriented design decisions, and the factors that drive manufacturability, quality, repeatability, and efficiency. You’ll learn how composites are produced, how to approach mould design for series production, and what to consider when defining requirements, selecting a mould concept, or choosing a material system from a production perspective. The course also covers common manufacturing defects, prevention and repair methods, and an overview of inspection and testing techniques used for composite components.
  • Yacht Design 1

    Yacht Design 1 is the first course in a two-part series on concept yacht design for both sailing and motor yachts. You’ll learn how yacht geometry drives key characteristics—stability, speed/performance, maneuverability, and seakeeping—and how to translate performance goals into practical design choices. The course focuses on the early stages of hull, appendage, and rig development. Through detailed case studies, you’ll follow a clear design workflow: defining main dimensions and ratios, and estimating critical parameters such as speed targets, center of gravity position, and minimum stability requirements. You’ll also model hull forms and design appendages including rudders, keels (with bulb), and foils, and cover the fundamentals of sails and rig design for sailing yachts.
  • Boat CE Certification & Homologation

    Before a boat can be placed on the market or put into service, it must obtain a certification issued at the end of a homologation process. This process of homologating and certifying a boat is often not very well known, which leads to frustration, loss of time, and money. This course presents the process of homologating and certifying a boat under the European Union legislation in a clear, concise, and appealing way. It covers the European Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/EU (RCDII or RCD2) and focuses on the key elements to obtain a boat's CE marking.

  • Yacht 3D Modeling with Rhino – Levels 1 & 2

    Enroll simultaneously in the Yacht 3D Modeling with Rhino - Level 1 & Level 2 courses and take your naval and yacht modeling skills from beginner to advanced. From the first steps with the software interface and basic geometries to pro-surface techniques, continuity, and advanced solid tools, you will be ready to face a real-world experience after taking these courses. The last part of each course is dedicated to a hands-on project, where you will apply, modeling a yacht, all the concepts covered during the course to create impressive curves, shapes, and seamless connections.

  • Yacht 3D Modeling with Rhino. Level 2

    This course will bring you from an intermediate to an advanced level. After taking the course, you will be ready for a real-world experience. It begins by diving into pro-surface techniques. Then, it continues by mastering continuity and advanced solids tools. It culminates with a 60-foot ocean sailing yacht as a final project, where you will apply all the concepts covered during the course to create impressive curves, shapes, and seamless connections.

  • Yacht 3D Modeling with Rhino. Level 1

    This course provides detailed explanations about the software interface and all the basic geometries used in naval and yacht applications. It also defines a consistent workflow for an organized design with Rhinoceros. The last part is dedicated to the hands-on development of a daysailer boat 3D model.
