I had a fantastic experience with Skippers Online. The course materials are very well-structured, and the instructions are incredibly clear and easy to follow, even for complex topics. It offers great value for money considering the high quality of the content and the flexibility of learning at your own pace. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to complete their skippers training online!

Day Skipper Theory Online
I really enjoyed the Day skipper online course, the materials were visually appealing easy to access and well presented making the learning experience straightforward. The Online support from Elite sailing was excellent. The mock exams are really helpful for preparing for the real thing. I particularly like that if you don’t pass every part of the exam you can resit the sections or questions you need to work on rather than having to start all over again. A well structured and supportive course I would recommend anyone studying for their day skipper theory qualification
My experience with Trafalgar Sailing…
My experience with Trafalgar Sailing was simply extraordinary; it has enabled me to overcome my fears. I now own a sailboat and am actively sailing, all thanks to this magnificent opportunity. I thoroughly enjoyed the online courses, as well as the exams. Regarding the support I received: even though I failed the chartwork exam twice, they never let me lose my motivation, encouraging me to keep learning from the feedback provided. I am filled with joy and am truly grateful to the entire Skipper Online team. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Very well prepared flexible on-line theory training of RYA Yacht Master Offshore competences.
No help whatsoever
No help what so ever. Constantly telling I am wrong, that's wrong, this is wrong, that's not right, you should have done this, you never did that. All retrospective and no guidance at all. Not once did I get an email to show me how to make things easier. Waste of money in my opinion
