NauticEd

The course material is good, some sections (navigation) are very technical and covered superficially. Some tests are quite tough and you end-up learning through trial and error than the actual material. The kicker though is that they don't mention that it may cost $1000 or more to arrange to take the practical on the water exams with a qualified assessor.

I chartered a sail boat from this company total ripoff ( Grant). The boat was terrible.
Nothing worked heads, air, generator waited 2 days for parts that did not fix the problem. When I contacted Grant he hung up on me because I was upset. It totally
Ruined my trip. We ended up losing 4 days on a 10 day trip.
I would say I would never go thru him again.
However is remedy to the problem was he would knock off a couple of hundred
Dollars of my next trip
Ya right like I am going to ever trust him again!

I purchased the RYA day skipper course through NauticEd but I found the training material on the website to be 1) not aligned with the material in the RYA course, especially the way it is organized and 2) I found the practical exercises and the answers for questions to be really average in several instances. For example, an answer would be provided with very little detail on how it was derived, thus making learning difficult and slow.
Overall I would recommend using a different provider or a classroom-based course.
I really found it frustrating trying to learning and felt disappointed in the whole program.
