Why we are the Online Training Specialists...

" The communication from Neil was first class. Welcoming email then great immediate follow up once I'd enrolled.
The course itself was excellent with just enough content presented clearly and professionally. Navigation backwards and forwards to content was clear and simple. Great little mini-tests along the way help reinforce your learning.
Also a few handy downloadable resources.
Best done on a laptop so the content display works.
Great work team. Recommend to anyone looking for top-line online training.."

Made you really think about safety in a new light. Highly Recommended

"As a University researcher, I have always been hesitant about online learning. But Neil Driscoll has proved me wrong. Despite owning boats over my life taking the Online Skipper course has been a great decision. The course has all the common sense information in one place. The video instruction makes you feel that you are sitting on a boat or in the office having a discussion with Neil. Good value and a necessary introduction or refresher course"

"Neil is an extremely engaging individual and teacher, well versed in several maritime sectors, is a skilled navigator, powerboat operator and yachtsman. He has a warm and friendly manner that puts people at their ease but also gets his message across well when teaching. I would recommend Neil to anyone wishing to improve their boating knowledge and skills"

Neil helped make the experience very relatable and relevant to the type of boating I will be doing. It was an easy process to do the learning and test all online.

"I Have just completed the online RYA Day Skipper shore based course with Above and Beyond Boating. Found it very well presented with a good explanation of concepts. Quiz at the end of each chapter was challenging enough to cement the material in the mind. Neil is very quick to respond to any questions. It took me a few weeks on and off to complete the course at my own pace, fitting in with other commitments. Would recommend this course to anyone looking to do their Day Skipper qualification."

"Really impressive and well done. This is so much better and more effective than trying to learn in a classroom. I was reasonably sure you were on the right track but now totally convinced."

- Chris Nicholson

I enjoyed the course – the number of exercises in the quizzes were very helpful especially for the navigation portion. I especially like the weather module as it covered a lot of concepts I’ve never studied before. I will be signing up for VHF course next online.
