An Excellent Blend of Instruction and Practical Exercises
I found the Skippers Online Coastal / Yachtmaster Offshore Theory course to be an ideal blend of instruction and practical experience, both within units and through the examination process. Even though I had already learned some of these navigation techniques elsewhere, the Skippers Online course allowed me to take this knowledge to the next level--not exactly mastery, which only comes with real world application, but a level somewhere in between, given the extensive training exercises. The pre-recorded presentations use a range of modalities, including 3-D and images, to illustrate points in a way that can't be illustrated through text alone. I was also pleasantly surprised by the way in which my frequent online questions were answered so quickly, always within a day, but more often within a couple hours. This meant I had an answer while I was actively working on a unit. I was so pleased with the experience that I will be taking the Yachtmaster Ocean course through Skippers Online.

Outstanding Online Sailing Course Experience
The content was clear, well-structured - perfectly suited for beginners. What truly set it apart, though, was the exceptional support from the instructors. Their responses were swift and the detailed feedback helped me deepen my understanding. Highly recommend for anyone passionate about sailing and eager to learn in a supportive and very professional environment!

This is a great course if you cannot take time off work.
Just stick with it, it takes time but well worth the study time.
Comprehensive & Thorough
The course was comprehensive and thorough. I actually went through the lessons twice before doing the 2 exams because by the time I finished I'd forgotten a great deal of the earlier lessons. I particularly like having life-long access to the lessons
The learning was very comprehensive and…
The learning was very comprehensive and covered a lot more than required to just pass the exam. My only negative comment was that I found the narrator to be a bit monotone and I occasionally struggled to stay with it. Having said that I’m not sure how the correct balance could be achieved so may be classroom learning would have suited me better.
Great course!
Feedback clear and helpful
The feedback provided by instructors is very clear and helpful.
