Teaching Methods

Navathome courses are writen by RYA Yachtmaster Ocean Instructors, experienced in classroom, online and practical training. We have been teaching RYA courses online for over ten years and have developed first class systems and methods for teaching.

Optional voiceover

Our courses are not videos or PowerPoint slide shows but lessons that include fully animated graphics with optional voiceover. Voice overs can be irritating which is why we give you the choice to listen, read and listen or read.
Older video teaching methods require students to rewind if they miss something. Our animated sketches cab be stepped through an you can check what you have heard in the included text.

Is this course suitable for me?

This course has been compiled for those with some theory and practical knowledge but no formal tuition.
Although it can be completed by a novice without any previous experience, it is not advised. The Day Skipper revision section of the course is self test and the time to complete it depends on your current level of knowledge. The Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster Offshore section of the course takes approximately 40-50 hours with a long assessment of 3 parts (IRPCS:1.5 hours, Passage Making A:1.5 hours and Passage Making B:2 hours). These can be taken in one sitting or as 3 separate papers.
