Very few graduates go on to take charge of a vessel on their own responsibility. Not because they lack the seamanship, but because the training does not deal with […]

Four things: a higher pass rate, because many students fail not on ability but on exam nerves, panic about leaving the berth, or going blank in a manoeuvre. Fewer withdrawals, because anxious customers drop out. A distinguishing feature against the school down the road. And satisfied graduates who recommend you and come back for the […]

As a module within a course, for instance an evening on exam nerves in your day skipper course. As a separate add-on, particularly the mental harbour manoeuvre training. Or as a joint package. Straightforward to price, without overturning your programme. The timing is your advantage: you already run theory in winter and have gaps between […]
