A Thank You To All Our Customers

There is no denying that 2020 has been a very challenging year for us all.

Ipswich Harbour Side Christmas Tree

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers for their understanding and support where it has been necessary to reschedule course dates and times due the ever changing COVID 19 epidemic.

Whats New

Faced with the challenges Covid has presented we have tried to develop new ways to deliver our courses and improve our customers experience with our one stop booking and payment shop.

HYBRID Teaching & Learning

  • The pandemic made us look at new risk free ways to deliver our shorebased courses. In March we successfully ran our first Hybrid course, delivering real time teaching and learning via the internet straight to you home. More INFO

Finally we would like to wish you all the very best over the Christmas period and hoping for better and brighter times in The New Year.

New – Hybrid Shorebased Courses

Exciting News

We have just completed our first RYA Day Skipper Hybrid Interactive Web based course. Our hybrid courses are not a traditional online course, this is a new concept offering a distributed classroom experience.

How does it work?

  • Classes are collaborative i.e. your instructor & multiple students meet up on a web based platform at agreed times for classroom sessions
  • Students see and hear live presentations / lessons just like they would in the classroom
  • Students can talk to their instructor in real time during the session to ask questions or get clarification on any aspect of the topic being taught more info
