Learn to lay the perfect teak deck!
What would a luxury yacht be without a gorgeous teak deck? Laying such a deck requires real craftsmanship, which you can only learn in practice. Nevertheless, online training can be used to optimally prepare for real-life practice!

The challenge.
The Yacht Builders Academy is the #1 knowledge centre for the ship and yacht building sector in the Netherlands. It offers a wide range of up-to-date and innovative practical training programmes for both young people and adults. For the Yacht Builders Academy, Brainstud developed a custom-made learning platform that features various blended learning programmes.
One of those learning programmes is “Teak deck and joints”. Teak is a high-quality type of wood that is often used while building luxury ships and yachts. One of the main applications of teak is on the deck, with joints to staircases, grids and walkways.
Laying such a teak deck requires real craftsmanship, which can only be mastered after extensive real-life practice. To prepare participants for the professional practice, the Yacht Builders Academy needed a blended learning programme, in which the optimal preparation for the professional practise takes place online.
