My Wife and 12 year old girls have just completed their PB2 course in Chichester marina. I am delighted that they now all have a much greater degree of confidence and with it, enjoyment of using our rib. Many thanks to Nigel who was a very accommodating and knowledgeable instructor.

Our Part 2 Engine Maintenance Training Day with Chieftain was excellent. Lots of practical advice and a rare opportunity to be hands on with a range of engines. I can thoroughly recommend this course.
Perhaps the most effective and enjoyable course I have ever done. The Instructor was highly knowledgeable and able to translate that knowledge into easily understandable terms; questions were encouraged and answered thoroughly. The course more than met my expectations.
Excellent day, well worth the money, John the instructor was excellent.
Course content very good and well presented by instructor. Concerns about hygiene at the pool facilities were put to rest promptly.
A first class course with a great instructor John, highly recommended.
This was an excellent two days. Having read a detailed book on the syllabus I learnt so much more in the classes and in discussion with the tutor. He was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. The second day built upon the standard RYA course and gave hands on experience on fault finding, fixing common problems and working on a range of engines and electrical systems.
Enjoyed my time at Chieftain on the GOC, very good delivery and training by the instructor.
Very good training centre good knowledgeable instructors highly recommend to all
Learning was delivered to a high standard
