Support
Once you start a
course you need back up - for marking of modules quickly and if you are
struggling with a subject.
With SeaNavigate you don't struggle; - you ask! You can
contact us 5 days a week by telephone (0930 - 1630 UT), fax or email and we
will guide you through the problem. At busy times we aim to get back to you
within the day.
Timescales
There is a time limit
of one year set on the course, this helps us to cope with students marking
needs, but more importantly, it helps the student focus. It is best to
complete the course in a period of around three to four months.
Marking
Exercises can be
returned for marking via post or email and in some cases by fax. We try to
check your work and send comments back within the day, but this is not
always possible. At busy times this may take a little longer.
Exam Sheets
On completion of all
modules, you are sent two exam sheets, one to cover chart work and the
other seamanship. On correct completion of these we will send you an
"RYA Day Skipper Shore Based Certificate". Don't worry if
you are not ready after completing the modules. you and i
will both know it! I will simply send out extra exercises on your weak
areas, before you take on the exams
