A little more about it
Develop the navigation knowledge that supports daytime yacht skippering. This is a named offering in the RYA training scheme, arranged through a recognized training centre. The RYA shorebased catalog explicitly states that all navigation courses have online or distance-learning options; classroom alternatives also exist. Ask the centre to confirm the current fee, assessment arrangements and documentation issued for your chosen course. Course completion is distinct from an independently examined Certificate of Competence or a commercial endorsement.
