Fastrack Courses  

 

We offer a fast track service for Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster which are particularly useful for candidates wishing to embark on a career in the marine sectors such as Super-Yacht crew or commercial angling etc. The Day Skipper qualification reduces the time at sea requirement from 6 months to 2 months for candidates wanting to qualify as Super-Yacht Ratings.

The courses include all the modules required as pre-requisites for the relevant qualification and as an MCA accredited STCW 95 commercial school you can rest assured you certificates will be valid worlwide.

Our Commitment to you  

We will provide at least the minimum seatime and mileage along with expert tuition required for your chosen qualification. You should note however that it may sometimes be necessary for you to add to this in the form of extra study or more experience as we advise you in order to gain your qualification. Taking this course is not a guarantee of a Pass in your final qualification; however we will keep you fully informed of your progress throughout you course. Sometimes we may not be able to make the courses run sequentially due to numbers on each course and the experience levels of the different course members but we will endeavour to keep the sequence as smooth as possible and keep you informed at all times.
