Ardent Training Omdömen 1 224

It was a very well laid out course (RYA Day Skipper), with plenty of examples and exercises, and a good balance of text, images and videos. Most importantly, the instructors were very responsive to any comments or questions I had, and I am happy to give the course top marks.

I took my Day Skipper Theory course with Ardent over the Christmas holiday period, taking my time to do 1-2 hours every morning for a month - I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. Charly, Ed and others were easy to listen to, with flexible learning visuals, slides explaining the content and/or listening/watching them explain on video. They did this from their yacht, Mipha, which made me feel ‘in it’ and more eager to learn. The content was broken down into easy size chunks and knowledge checks and assessments at the end, which I found really helpful as I got almost realtime feedback from one of the Ardent Instructors so I could reapply the knowledge for better understanding. Overall, I would highly recommend Ardent Training - they are ‘real’, professional, thorough and make it fun to learn, all the while the knowledge is sticking so I can recall Ed or Charley’s voice when I do my practical Day Skipper in a few weeks time. Thank You Ardent :)

I completed by Day Skipper theory course with Ardent. The course is well put together and in a methodological order for ease of learning. I personally loved that the course is presented from the instructors while out on the water in their own boats - this allows you to gain a more practical understanding of the theory being taught. I would recommend this course!

This was a fantastic course, the cousrework is excellent, the instyructors are really approcahable and always online, and they go deeper that strictly required which is great.
I have very little spare time, so to have a fully year to complete the course when and how I like online was brilliant, I would wholeheartedly recomened then Thank you guys it was a great course.

I am very happy with the courses overall at Ardent Sailing School. The quality of the material is excellent: clear, well-structured documents and very useful templates.

What really stands out, though, is the level of support. The guidance is constant, and questions are answered very quickly and always in a thorough, helpful way. You genuinely feel supported throughout the learning process.

Truly excellent — highly recommended.

Great team who has been supportive and responsive from day one!
Great explanations, infos and tips throughout the online class.
Thank you all!

Just completed my Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore Theory with Ardent (having done my Day Skipper with them previously. Excellent course, superb support at all times, swift responses and friendly teachers. Totally recommend them to any other students - I am so pleased I chose them.

Just got my day skipper after taking a year and a bit on and off as we sailed a lot. No problem with time zone difference (I’m in Canada) and the teachers were extremely helpful and accommodating. Feed back was fast and answers were quick (bearing in mind the time difference). It was clear someone was always available during their regular daytime hours. Had issues during test taking with workmen arriving in the middle to totally distract causing me to lose time. Holly and Luke worked with me to give me more time and allowed me to redo some questions that were not quite right. All good! The approach clearly is to find a way to get you to success. The online experience was fantastic - you can read, listen, watch or all of the above. It works for all learning styles. And it was easy to go back over the materials to study for the test. The charts, tools and almanac were first rate and very complete. It may not be a real place nor real charts but you wouldn’t know it. The additional resources available online to print off were also really helpful (pilotage plans, tidal ladders, MAYDAY calls etc.). I can’t recommend them highly enough. Getting ready to do my Yachtmaster! Best option for people who need flexibility when attending classes.

I had previously started a day skipper course with an alternative online provider. Following some online searching, I came across Ardent Training and enrolled for the Essential Navigation and Seamanship course. The video content provided for this course was excellent and helped to achieve this qualification. Ihave no issuess recommending Ardent Training to anyone, and I will be enrolling with them for my Day Skipper qualification.

The RYA Day Skipper theory is a really well put together and informative course. It teaches everything you're going to need to know and goes out of its way with anecdotes and extras such as live sessions for those who want to learn some more. On hand instructors providing extremely fast feedback and answers to any questions you have is a bonus on top!

Presenting this course from their own boats brings a reality to the techniques you learn. All the instructors are so professional yet relaxed and friendly, and inspire confidence.
Everything is clearly explained, and any queries you may have are answered promptly on email. Being able to revise things on the app at any time is a great resource, and you can do all this at your own pace.
I highly recommend doing your RYA Day Skipper theory with Ardent.

This was the best online learning I have experienced - engaging, informative, and thoughtfully structured. Challenging but with plenty of support and encouragement.

Instant constructive advice delivered in a very friendly manner. Training material fun to watch.

I completed RYA Day Skipper theory course with Ardent Training. Ardent Training made very good course. They made good quality lessons and easy to follow. The day skipper theory can be more easily learnt with their lessons. They have very quick response too as well as constructive feedback. I was in a hurry to complete the theory course, instructors of Ardent proceeded every thing quickly including scheduleing the exam and issuing the certificate. Ardent Training is highly recommended.

Very well organized course. Fast response on you,re questions. I did dayskipper, thats big Chuck of info. They make it feel very light but you have to poot you,re in time into it..I highly recommend ardent!

Great Course! I took a long time researching and selecting the right Day skipper course, so glad i chose Ardent, their videos of explaining everything are really easy to follow. And they respond to messages super quick and will explain and expand on anything

Following the online course was great. If needed there was alwyas a quick respons to questions asked. The coursematerial is extensive and well explaned. The guide you through the process.

These Guys are fab! A great way to learn at your leisure and get advice as and when you need it!

Ive tried a few online learning systems, but ardents is the best, tutors tutoring from their boats, prompt feedback on assessments, a wide range of different tutors so your not hearing the same voice for 60 hours, great exercises. I don't think they can be beaten.

Do not be put off by online training and try training with Ardent. I have learnt an enormous amount on the Dayskipper theory course with a fantastic instructor team. Their training material is great and prompt constructive feedback is first rate! I never waited more than 5min for a response. The course is comprehensive and follows RYA materials that are also supplied.
