Excellent quality
The digital learning modules are extremely precise and effective. The spoken English is of the highest quality and easy to understand, even for non-native speakers. The quizzes help you track your progress. Well done!

Great course
Great course. To be able to complete the theory element before the practical was helpful. The course was well balanced, informative and in an easy to use format. The practical element was excellent with a top notch instructor. I would highly recommend.

Skippers Online were great… 100% GREAT!
Skippers Online were great throughout the course. The yacht master theory is not easy and there is a lot of questions sent to Skippers Online (well from me anyway) and I have to say, they always answered so quickly and gave the reassurance that the support was there. So thank you to the team, I really did appreciate all your help.
I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Skippers Online to anyone out there. Sailing really is a fun thing to do.

I would choose Skippers Online for more courses.
The media and graphics were very good and explained the concepts very well. The detail contained in each module is comprehensive and the way the tests and mock exams build you up to the real exam is very constructive and helpful. Throughout the course the instructors were available for questions and clarifications.

Day Skipper
Very structured training module considering I had no previous experience in sailing, I didn’t need any guidance just kept going over the training modules and mock exams till I was confident enough. I had only completed a Competent Crew course in March 2025 and then enrolled in this Day Skipper theory which have now passed and looking forward to the practical next.

YM offshore theory
I took the online yachtmaster offshore theory certificate. I did the same with dayskipper so knew what to expect. Online presentation materials, tests and additional resources give more than enough to get you ready for the final exams. Great support from the instructors too.
