Classes are conducted in remote attendance mode, where each student can interact with the instructor and the rest of the class through a virtual classroom system with audio and video access.
These classes are recorded and made available to students within the e-learning platform for viewing at any time.
Practical Training
Mandatory safety and navigation practical training, 48 hours of navigation where a large part of the knowledge obtained in theoretical classes is developed on-site, as well as the use of electronic instruments and navigation watches.
This practical training will be carried out aboard a Lagoon 38 catamaran with 11.55m length and 4 cabins, making the practice even more comfortable.
Night navigation will be conducted, organizing watch shifts, and the contents of the Yacht Skipper course will be reviewed.
