Support

Once you start a course you need back up quickly - for marking of modules and if you are struggling with a subject.

With SeaNavigate you don't struggle; - you ask! You can contact us 7 days a week by telephone (0930 - 1630 GMT), 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 three exam sheets, one to cover chart work and the other seamanship. On correct completion of these we will send you an "RYA Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster Shore Based Certificate". Don't worry about exams! I will not let you take it if you are not ready. We will both know how you are doing through the course work and if you are weak in an area at the end of the course, I simply send you some more exercises before the exams as a revision.

If you are taking this course as part of a professional qualification, then your exams must be invigilated, but if not you can just do them at home
