Day Skipper Theory

Day Skipper Theory course – £295

interactive Theory courses are great at providing the background knowledge to enhance your boating, however not everyone has the time to spend a week or several weekends in a classroom attending a course. Evening classes are another option but require a long commitment as you need to attend once a week for at least 20 weeks.

Interactive learning offers an alternative to the traditional methods of teaching theory courses, allowing you to learn when you want and where you want, all you need is access to a computer and the internet. This online course is delivered by Navathome, a RYA Recognised Training Centre specialising in online training. The course can be booked via our website.

Any instructor support needed during the course will be provided by ourselves on behalf of Navathome, either via telephone or email, at no extra cost. We monitor all course answers, and feedback / assistance can be given when requested or if necessary.

If you feel you need a little extra personalised assistance, we can also offer Blended Learning, combining online courses with 1:1 tuition:
1) Online course with 1x day in the classroom – £295 plus £250 = £545
2) Online course with 4x 45 minute sessions (3 hours total) via Skype or FaceTime – £295 plus £120 = £415
