Chieftain Training Reviews 

Brilliant sailing course week. The course was really well run and organised. Instructors are really friendly and welcoming. Super encouraging - would highly recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would happily give it five stars. Joe Wallington was an excellent instructor. Although he had to move at a good pace to cover the syllabus, he always found the time to answer all my questions clearly and patiently. The teaching was of a very high standard, the classroom facilities were excellent, and there was plenty of fun along the way. Thank you to Joe and the whole team at Chieftain Training. I highly recommend this course.

I had a great instructor and I learnt so much in 2 days!!

Friendly staff - excellent practical tuition. A fun and informative two days of learning about powerboats and how to operate them safely. Good value

Very good, all questions very well answered. Learned a lot about being a skipper in a funny way. Will absolutely recommend this class! Thanks Alan!

Great website to book training... excellent facility... classroom, changing facilities, sailing boats, access to water... very experienced instructor with lots of good coaching and feedback on the water...

My daughter spent a week doing a multiactivity week at SWAC. She loved the variety of activities here, as well as the friendliness of the instructors. She really grew in confidence over the course of the week and is keen to return, probably for a sailing week.

Excellent! A full packed day but thoroughly enjoyable. Excellent exercises in the swimming pool, use of flares etc and gave me a realistic idea of what it would be really like to have to abandon ship.

Very engaging day, teacher was lovely and made learning about first aid very interesting/fun. Would definitely choose to do courses there again!

A brilliant RYA Level 1 Adult Dinghy course. Well delivered and a huge amount of fun!

MCA Stability Course delivered by someone with deep practical knowledge of the subject. Professionally delivered course. Loved the working models used to teach the concepts ...

Knowledgeable instructors with real world experience, impart information very well and really care about the results meeting the candidates expectations.

Joe made the day engaging and fun whilst covering a lot of information. Very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable.

Great course, with a good mix of hands on and theory, clear presentations, and left with a confidence to now maintain my own boat engine.

Friendly, flexible, helpful and organised. Students enjoyed themselves. Staff room was good to have for accompanying teaching staff

Great facility and very professional and knowledgeable instructor.

Relaxed, fun way to be introduced to and learn the basics of dingy sailing.Instructors were friendly and knowledgeable.

Spent most of the weekend on the water and would highly recommend.

10/10 experience if you want to get comfortable learning to sail a dinghy, we had lots of support from two fabulous instructors to get us sailing a double handed dingy confidently by the end of the weekend!!

Fantastic beginner course, instructors were great, very friendly atmosphere and easy going, but strict where it needed to be. Lots of time in the water, really enjoyed it. Parking and tea/ coffee facilities made the days easy.

Great course, lots of excellent experiences. Recommended.
