A really well structured and…
A really well structured and comprehensive course which I really enjoyed doing at home in my own time as I had time constraints. The lessons were very well laid out and contained all the information needed to pass the RYA Dayskipper Theory. The quizzes part way through the exercises were very useful. The “End of lesson” exercises were really good and you could compare your own efforts against the model answers. The support team behind Skippers Online were very good and got back to me with any queries within half an hour or so. Instructors were brilliant and very attentive. If you are looking for a really good quality online Day Skipper course (theory) I’d highly recommend it.

App is old and does not work anymore
App is old and does not work on tablet or iphone. App does not allow you to scroll and to answer questions so you can not continue to next page. I only bought it for the download function but now i cant continue the lectures. Do not buy it unless they update there app.
I did email support and will update my review when it’s fixed.
