About the course...

Having already seen the brilliant results that came from delivering our navigation and radio training in an online and flexible format, we then created the world's first fully interactive skipper course.

We took Neil's top 35 lessons that he had written over the last 20 years, then we set up the perfect environment for delivering each one and turned them into video tutorials within these 5 modules.

What's brilliant about this course, is that we can now let your interests direct your learning. You can keep learning in bite-sized lessons when you have time to focus on a particular skill.

Our mentoring for your boat ownership means that as well answering questions you already have we make sure you learn the things you don't yet know you don't know.
