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
