Can You Do Day Skipper Online?

 

 

It’s possible to take the RYA Day Skipper theory course online with First Class Sailing. The online version of the Day Skipper course gives you the freedom to learn about navigating a sailing yacht or motor cruiser, but in your own time, and from wherever you want. All you need is a computer or tablet with a stable Internet connection.

 

Once you are signed up, you will be given a login to a RYA approved interactive online Day Skipper course which includes all of the course materials that you would be given in a physical classroom location. The difference is you can work through it at your own pace. But please don’t worry, there will still be an instructor on hand if you need help. They can be contacted via phone or email.

 

Here’s a review left by one of our customers who took Day Skipper online.

 

I am so pleased I choose First Class Sailing for the Day Skipper Theory course. I felt I was being inducted into the world of sailing, with all its joys. but also the serious responsibilities of skippering a craft and taking charge of a crew. The course was delivered online over 5 days. Materials purchased beforehand arrived in good time before the course started and joining instructions were clear and personalised. The instructor was vastly experienced, not only as a mariner, but as a trainer. Responsive to individual learner’s needs and encouraging of interaction, in spite of the obstacles of online participation. The materials were meticulously prepared, and being improved all the time in response to real classroom delivery. Feeling nervous about the exam was inevitable, with a large volume of material to cover, but when it came to the exam, I realised how well-prepared we had been.
