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.

Thanks Keith, The course you were doing is one of the last ones to be upgraded. The fundamental navigation course is only a basic introduction to navigation, so we only touch on some parts, but with we are progressively updating it to include more details with regards to electronic navigation.

Supportive and timely feedback for online course

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.

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.

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.

Thanks David. We do know that online learning is not for everyone, and some people do find it easier in a classroom, however given the amount of material in the course, most classroom students just feel it is too rushed and crammed, and they don't have enough time to properly understand the material.

All the material is there to answer the questions, but we are systematically doing an update of the entire syllabus with new videos and interactive elements, and so we shall make sure that all the information that is needed is readily accessible as we go through our updates.

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.
