Satisfied Graduates

Thanks for your assistance and support during my journey to obtaining the my Basic Navigation Certificate!
I also wanted to say, that the coastal navigation course was very good and I learned a great deal from it. All in all a very good experience.
Katrina, Aurora (2023)

It was excellent, well written, presented well. The plot-it exercises, flash pieces and step-by-steps helped a lot. Andrew J, Ottawa (2002)

I thought the course was excellent. The lessons were very informative, well organized and laid out; and the self examinations very helpful. I thank you for a great experience.
John L, Toronto (2010)

I really enjoyed the course, particularly the plotting exercises. I thought your material was extremely well put together and that it illustrated each of the performance objectives both clearly and appropriately. Although my preference would be for an in-class approach, the quality of your online offering was such that I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
David C, Ottawa (2017)
