Description
Irish Offshore Sailing also offer online theory courses delivered by Navathome, an RYA recognised training centre, specialising in online courses. It is a fantastic course with incredible slide shows and step by step interactive aids to help you progress through the course. Work as fast or as slow as you like and save your work as you go. The course is very interactive with an online tutorial on each topic and the course is broken down into 12 complete modules with questions at the end of each module.
The navigation of a yacht is taught over 10 days. The first 5 days is the Dayskipper theory and the second 5 days is the Yachtmaster theory. If you haven’t done the Dayskipper theory you will find it almost impossible to do the course. Often people underestimate just how much is covered in the Dayskipper theory.

The course costs 430€ and includes your chart pack, notes and exercises which are posted out to you.
When you make the payment you immediately get an access code to the online interactive course package, so you can start the course straight away. The chartpack, notes and exercises are then sent out a few days later.
