Join the PYA and kick start your career
Some information before you start: There are several steps in the joining process.- You will be giving us some information about you
- You will choose the appropriate membership class
- You will upload a profile picture (you can change it later, but we need one for your membership card)

After you've completed this you will receive an e-mail asking you to send us
a scan of your passport and your cv.
For seagoing members only, also good quality scans of your certificates and two passport type photograps (on paper).
