On-line Theory Courses

For some people attending a 5 day theory course or an evening class over 26 weeks is not an easy option. One alternative is to pass the RYA Day Skipper or Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster®  on-line by taking our RYA on-line theory course from your computer at home. We have teamed up with NAVATHOME to offer easy to follow on-line theory courses with the added advantage that you can submit your answers on-line and find out if your answers are correct with instant feedback as you go.

You will need access to a computer but there is nothing to download, everything is accessible online. There are detailed explanations on each subject with interactive graphics which can be clicked through forwards and backwards. You can even try the course for free with our free trial.

FEEDBACK

• Rapid and clear tutor feedback. Willing to respond to specific queries – unlike other similar tutors I have experienced
• Quick response to exercise submissions.
• Easy to follow. The animations were very helpful in building understanding.
• Almost instant e-mail feedback. Always available at the end of the phone if I rang to ask questions.
• The combination of online “own pace” learning combined with easy access to tutorial support when needed makes the course. ideal for anyone that cannot commit to regular college nights.
• very happy with the course and especially all those those at Commodore, Stuart and his team were very helpful and accommodating. I would definately recommend others to do this course. I have already put what I have learnt to practice – it works! Thanks
