A basis for assisting in a sailing trip.
The course is a great introduction to recreational sailing for a novice, where the concepts and terms are unfamiliar. The animations and explanations are helpful. There is a little clunkiness to the software and system which I think could be improved by adding more worked examples and self tests, possibly as an addendum to the course. At some points one arrives at a quiz underprepared.
It is a good start however.

The course material is well laid out in online modules. These online modules work well with the physical training charts and nav tools delivered to your address. A good summary is provided after the exam helps you review any errors.

The ability to work from home and fit around my busy schedule of full time work and family made this course an excellent choice. I still received timely and supportive feedback when I had questions which is hard to find in an online course provider, thank you
my go to for future learning.
For the complexity and scope of the content NAVatHOME was fairly easy to navigate with absorbing the learning. Once your receive your physical pack with the training equipment, charts and tools the course is gilding you through each modules. The team at the support center were very helpful and comprehensive in their feedback. Great course, definitely my go to for future learning.
The course itself is really excellent
The course itself is really comprehensive, instructive and challenging, I learnt a lot. The follow up service is also really great and supportive and provides excellent instruction to help you work out the answers to difficult questions yourself without spoon-feeding you.
Great tool for Yacht master theory
Online content overall was good quality. Additional feedback was provided by course instructor where necessary to properly understand concepts. Overall value added experience.
Andrew's course
The layout and design of the course flows very well. There will always be repetition but it was well designed

I believe the course was well laid out and the information given was a reflection of the assessments.
The time frame to complete the course was generous, thankfully so as I needed it. Some of the software was a bit clunky in particular the croc plots didn't work that well.

Great online course with good "real human" support whenever I needed help.
The pros and cons
Liked that you could progress at your own pace.
Did not like:
1. Often insufficient information provided in training materials to answer questions;
2. It would be far more effective to do the course in a real class room setting.

Day skipper course - lots of work - but worth the effort
I learnt a lot through this day skipper course. I like the self paced delivery model. All maps doco and dividers/plotters are provided. Help is there if you need it. In my case I found the course difficult. There is a lot to learn! But the notes etc are great.
Supplied plenty of useful information…
