Day Skipper and Yachtmaster Online
For a number of reasons, *and the current Coronavirus situation is a special reason*, some sailors choose e-learning.
SailNorth offers both Dayskipper and Yachtmaster Online in association with
Skippers-OnLine (SOL).
+ Online courses are presented through fourteen subject modules and supported through hundreds of images, animations, videos, quizzes, exercises
etc. to develop and to confirm your
understanding of the subjects.
+ Instructor support is available online 7 days a week. In addition SailNorth will provide in Sheffield a Sunday, group tutorial session for one or other of the trickyer subjects 'Tides or Plotting Methods'.
+ Support material includes - Two RYA Training Charts - RYA Training Almanac - Code to download the RYA Training Plotter - RYA Course Handbook.
+ If required there is an optional 'Plotter and Divider Kit' (£28).
+ There are two compulsory assessments (three for Yachtmaster) for which you may have unlimited attempts, and you have 12 month access to complete the program (extendable by 6months).
+ The output from the course is the RYA Course Completion Certificate plus of course a comprehensive understanding of navigation at sea.
These are skills not easilly gained when onboard
and concentrating on the practical boat handling skills.
