Chieftain Training Reviews 

A very interesting and extremely useful course. Pitched at the right level and pace. The instructor was extremely knowledgable and all questions were answered well along with frequent checks of our understanding. An enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere.

Hi Chieftain Team,

A really big thank you for an excellent Powerboat Level 1 course for my two children and my wife, despite the shocking weather (raining all day) they had a fantastic time.
Drew was absolutely awesome, and gave a great balance of safety , training and fun.

Using the two different boats gave a great opportunity to the boys .

Looking forward to coming back for the PBL2 when they are old enough .

Many thanks,

Ian, Lia, lewis and Filipe Jinks

Friendly and informative staff and course, incorporating a surprise with using a tiller boat as well as a rib for experience.

Enjoyed the course. It was a good test of many years boating experience with the added challenge of learning to teach others the basic skills. Testing enough that passing the course had to be earned and so all the more pleasing once that was achieved.

I feel closely followed despite the language barrier ( i don't speak english and understand very little).In italy there aren't many opportunities for real and concrete training that are recognized at a professional level.For this reasons i chose to train in UK with you.

Great course and great instructor
Highly recommend.
Thankyou very much

The RYA first aid course was efficiently run and very thoroughly covered the syllabus, with many points backed up with examples from real-life experience. This not only added interest but also makes theory easier to understand and remember.

The instructor, Carl was a walking encyclopaedia on marine electrics and also very entertaining. He made the 2 days a lot of fun.

Excellent course, Andrew the instructor was very entertaining and very knowledgeable. Great practical hands on exercises and several engines to practice on. Thoroughly recommended. Thankyou for a great two days😎

A very enjoyable & insightful day, great instructions & lots of experience from Alan! Throughly enjoyed & would recommend.

Absolutely fantastic course, the training was first class, the trainer was amazing friendly and very knowledgeable, he was very intuitive, and knew how to teach and get the best out of his pupils, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to go out on the water without doing this course. Loved it

I have completed many first aid courses over the years but despite the basic level of this course, I came away having learned a lot. The instructor struck the perfect balance between a relaxed learning environment and the seriousness of the subject, enhancing the base syllabus with his extensive experience. Thoroughly recommended.

Very knowledgeable team with lots of extra advice given. Will be coming back soon.

Many thanks for your expertise and assistance.

Excellent training and the instructor, Alan,was very good.

A useful course for a new boat owner like myself. I would highly recommend booking both the RYA and Diesel Level 2 days together as you go into more detail with extra hands on experience than you will get in just the one day. I now look forward to applying the knowledge to my own engine and going to sea with more confidence in my ability to fix problems should they arise.

Great course - very informative instructor - loads of time on the water and time for theory in their great classroom

Alan my instructor was very knowledgeable and patient putting me at ease as a complete novice. Course was great fun and practical. I highly recommend and more follow on courses available.
