‘Essential Navigation and Seamanship’ course by Yachting Directions.
This is an RYA course with extensive course materials including charts, instruments and online tools.
All classes are recorded so that students can review the material at their leisure. This is an RYA branded course. It is live online for each class.
Each lesson is 2 hours long and there will be 8 lessons total, all online.
This is an RYA course but doesn’t give qualifications. However, it is considered a good lead into the RYA Day Skipper Theory course. If a client decides to follow through with the Day Skipper Course then the amount is deducted from the Day Skipper full price.
