I have been wanting to do my day skipper theory course for many years but due to work have not been able to commit to 20+ weeks of evening classes. After taking the excellent practical course with Island Sailing they mentioned the online theory course that they offer.
This can be done in your own time over 6 months and included all of the materials required, except for pencil, rubber and brain! The course was very intuitive and takes you through the material step-by-step with plenty of animations and examples along the way to ensure you are on track. After each of the modules you have a test that allows you to gauge if you need to go back and repeat to improve your understanding. You can pause at any point and come back to it later but it is so interesting you will find yourself not wanting to stop!
All the way through you can get support if required, though the material is so good you probably won’t need to. An excellent and cost effective way of doing the course without losing an evening a week of your life for half a year!
